Nathan was out of school on Thursday so we loaded up my car with 2 toddlers, 1 baby, 3 adults, 2 strollers, 1 blanket and 1 Transformer backpack with about 30 miscellaneous toys, and headed to the Arboretum. The weather was absolutely wonderful! We found a perfect spot under a shady tree for our blanket. Nathan and Charlotte had so much fun running around in the wide open space. Well, actually Nathan was the one doing all of the running and exploring and Charlotte was the one who couldn't keep from kissing and hugging Pearce over and over! Honestly, none of us could keep our hands off Pearce, but I think Charlotte feels like he is her REAL baby doll! Not only did we have a yummy picnic, we walked all over the arboretum looking at the beautiful flowers, taking lots of pictures, and Nathan had fun pretending he was an explorer! If there was a chain or fence blocking off a certain area, that was the first place Nathan would "explore." He is definitely a handful, but such a joy!!!

Needless to say, they both fell asleep on the way home and slept over 2 hours! I just love outings like this that exhaust my kids!

What wonderful pictures! I know you all had a great day. Did you notice that Pearce doesn't flinch when being smothered by kisses from the kids? He's quite used to Daisy and Otis kissing him! Oh, well, it's good for building antibodies!
