Mercer Botanical Gardens

Well it is the middle of the week, and tomorrow William and I will be stuck in the house all afternoon waiting for the dryer repair person to come by SO I decided we needed to go on an adventure after lunch.  William is still having a little trouble with adjusting to his new town so I thought it would be fun to check out this very neat little botanical garden about 6 miles from our house.  We had so much fun!  First off, it is a free attraction AND across the street from the gardens is a lovely park with hiking trails and playgrounds.  We plan on having Colby takes us there for a family hike soon. :)

It was a gorgeous day and I can't wait to see what this place looks like in the spring.  We brought along Will's binoculars and magnified glass so he could explore some more.  He had so much fun looking at butterflies, birds, lizards, and squirrels.  Here are a few pictures from our outing.

Some pretty trees near the hiking trails

Will decided to do a little art project when we got home.  He finished coloring it after I took the picture.
Wishing everyone a very happy Wednesday and a great end to your week!
