After a long few days of being sick with a high fever, Reagan was feeling much better yesterday. He told me that he wanted to go to "Wildflowers"~~this is Reagan for The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Whew--his version is much easier to type, so we'll stick to "Wildflowers".
We have been once before a few weeks ago, and I was surprised by how much we both enjoyed it. Wildflowers is just beautiful. They have everything labeled, so I have come back with many ideas for things I want to plant in our own flower beds. There are also walking paths in fields that we have not done yet...we're waiting on Daddy to go with us when it is a bit cooler. Yesterday was a wonderful day to go because there were tons and tons of butterflies! They were everywhere. It was so fun to walk through them hoping that they would land on us.
There are several little streams and pools that have tiny fish in them. Reagan and I saw many dragonflies, and we also spotted two little frogs!
Wildflowers also has a children's section. There is a building where kids can go in and color pictures, read books, and look at different aquariums. There was also a huge container of ladybugs!! Outside in the children's area there are 3 giant pots filled with dirt and rocks that the kids can dig through to find little "treasures". This is by far Reagan's favorite part of the whole place.
Digging for treasure and playing with his loot in the cafe.
Reagan's second favorite thing to do is eat in the cafe at Wildflowers. He loves walking around with the map that is given to you when you talking about where the "caf-FAY" is. Once we're in the cafe he keeps on telling me, and everyone else in a 1/2 mile radius, "We're in the caf-FAY!". (I need to record him saying it so you can hear just how funny he sounds saying 'cafe'.)
