This year for Mother’s Day Justin and the girls got me a season family pass for Meadowlark Gardens. Sunday of Memorial Day weekend was a beautiful day and we ventured there to start our weekend. It was a little breezy, but the skies were sunny and beautiful. Our first stop was the Kid’s Garden, where the girls enjoyed exploring and having a tea party with the insects.
Next we strolled along the path to destination gazebo. 
I wanted to get a picture of the girls holding daddy’s hands at the same time, but they aren’t into sharing mommy and daddy. While Emerson held Daddy’s hand, Avery was holding Mommy’s hand.
I was able to nudge Avery to go catch up with Daddy and Emerson for a brief moment, before she headed back my way….
When we first got to the gazebo the girls were a little hesitant, especially Avery. But by the time we were ready to leave, the girls did not want to leave. We saw colorful fish and turtles. The girls really enjoyed it and it was so awesome just to see how “grown up” they are becoming.
We spotted some ducks along the pond after leaving the gazebo and stopped to look at them.
The girls kept wanting to go after them though and considering they were far into the pond, we decided it wasn’t the safest place to stay. After a few pictures the girls started to become cranky so we decided to call it a day at Meadowlark and save the rest of our energy for Viva Vienna later this afternoon!
