Ollie had the day off on St. Patrick's Day so we made the most of it and headed over to the Texas Discovery Gardens. We hadn't been before, but had heard good things. We found they had a nice fountain, fish ponds and sculptures to play around on. There was also a demonstration on how to compost, and the kids enjoyed learning about that. After exploring the gardens we went inside to the Butterfly House where the kids were introduced to every shape and size of butterfly you can imagine. The weather was so nice that we decided to eat dinner on the front patio after we got home. All in all it was a fabulous St. Paddy's Day!
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
