{Botanical Gardens :: Daddy's first trip}

The day before Brady took boards he decided to spend the day with us and let his brain relax. So we thought it would be fun to take him to one of our favorite places... the Botanical Gardens. We all LOVED spending the day with daddy. It was much needed for all of us!

Ryker's face is priceless playing chase with daddy.

Running, dancing, throwing, and crunching in the leaves. 

Fall is the BEST! 

This little guy adores his daddy. 

The leaves have started to turn and it is beautiful here. Ryker is very observant and is always telling me the colors he is seeing on the trees. 

Petting turtles. 

Ah.... I touch a turtle {face}!

This smile melts my heart like butter.

Playing HUGE croquet. Ryker would not let me play... it was just Ryker and Daddy teams. 

See all of the bugs on that post - they are lady bugs and Japanese beetles they were swarming EVERYWHERE while we were here. SOOOOO creepy having a dozen land on you. 

Brady and Phil. 

Uncle Si.

Hammocks are too fun with daddy.

Super fun day at the gardens with daddy. We hope this fun relaxing day together helped him relax and pass his boards. Cant wait to spend more time together as a family!
