Gibbs Gardens

On Thursday we visited Gibbs Gardens which is only about 20 minutes away. We met my friend Katie there with her two kids, Liam and Lyla, and enjoyed the beautiful gardens along with the great weather. Julia was more in the mood for having her picture taken so it was nice.  Most of the day she carried around her tickets that she's been earning for good behavior or for not sucking her thumb.  Once she earns 10 tickets she gets a special treat.  So far she's been doing great and thanks to Jenny for the idea.

Andrew hung out in the stroller most of the time and was just as handsome as ever.

Julia had fun doing what the statues were doing. All of the children on the statues represent Mr. Gibbs' grandchildren.

As we were on our way to have lunch we looked back and Julia and Liam were holding hands...super cute.

Some guy was talking to us and making Julia laugh and smile so it was the perfect opportunity to snap some photos.

Just some pretty purple flowers.

I had to get a photo of Julia in her pink shirt in front of the pink roses.

Julia had fun walking across the rocks too!

Here's a few photos of the gardens...it was so beautiful and very peaceful.

Julia had fun playing in the grass too.  I tried putting Andrew in the grass to take a few photos of the both of them but he doesn't like the feel of the grass at all so he just cried. 

As we were leaving there's a waterfall along with great flowers and plants.  Thanks Katie for the invite...it was beautiful!
