Oregon Garden

We had a beautiful day at the Oregon Garden today. The sun was shining,

the garden was full of interesting and clever sights,


and beautiful paths leading off into magical little spaces.

We started off with a tram ride hoping to find our friends,


and who should appear at the second stop to board the tram? This was lucky because the place is big and it would have been easy to miss each other. Being there with friends made the day even more fun. A especially is in a place where she would like us to do everything with our friends. When we're back home and her legs are so tired from running around that they are sore, I know it has been a good day. 

The garden is really well done and since today was a special homeschool day they had activity stations set up all over the garden, which were lots of fun. M liked the flower dissecting one best, and A liked the crafty one where you could make a stamp of animal tracks. She made one of animal tracks and then made a second one that said "Caution." A warning for her brother? General advice for the world at large? A self portrait in one word? Anyway, it was definitely worth the drive.
