Powell Gardens

This morning, we went to Powell Gardens with some friends.  Sawyer & Parker (who is 4) always have fun together.  The exhibit was "forts and fairy houses" and the kids had fun exploring all the forts.  We spent all morning in the gardens, had a picnic lunch, then came home for a nap.  This afternoon, we were back outside at our house playing in the water.  We had a great 3-day weekend.  It is going to be hard to get back to our usual routine tomorrow!

Regan, Riley, Sawyer & Parker playing in the tunnels. 

Its always fun trying to get 4 kids to look at the camera AND smile at the same time! 

Sutton was all smiles in his stroller.

Sawyer loved climbing all over the tunnels.

Boys being boys!

They had so much fun.  They were running in front of us the entire time. 

Look how red Sawyer's face is.  He was a sweaty, dirty mess!

Naptime for Sutton.  He took a long nap in the shady spots along the way.

Mr. Snooze Fest!

Riding in the trolley to get back to the entrance of the gardens.

So tired -- both boys fell asleep after only a few minutes in the truck. 

After naptime, Sawyer was ready to go back outside.  He loves his new water gun!

Sutton loves being outside too.  He especially loves getting off the blanket and onto the grass!

Sawyer kept looking for "all the bad guys!"

Sutton is now pulling up on anything and everything.  Daddy even saw him side-step while hanging on.  We had to lower his crib to the lowest setting, as Sutton has been pulling himself up to standing while in his crib.  There is absolutely no rest at our house these days!!  Our days are full of trying to keep us with these 2 active boys.  What a fun time it is though!
