Southeast Botanical Gardens

Another 80 degree sunny day in November. We had to do something fun and new...why not beautiful at the same time? We had lots of fun!

Proof...we are in shorts in the middle of November!!

Hello!

Do you know what this is?

I don't either but I thought it was interesting!


Climbing monkey...

A steep wooden slide....wheeeee!!! (I went down too, but of course I would be the clumsy one and fall down...hurt my toe a little but I was madder that I ruined my new toenail paint job!!)

Colorful cow

Floating flowers in a huge oyster shell...(or some type of shell anyway)

A nasty beetle of some sort. They had a bunch on display. I guess they are popular here.

"U-G-L-Y....You aint got no aliby...you ugly...yeah yeah you ugly!!"

A beautiful contrast to the above picture...

They had an enormous net full of flowers and these butterflies.


I love butterflies!! They are my favorite!!

Of course Noah would find a "gun" to shoot with....

Okay...at first glimpse just a school of fish swimming in the pond right?

But then feed them the food they provide

from a vending machine for 100 yen....

And you have a billion crazy, hungry koi fish!!!

There were so many fighting over the food

they were even outside of the water belly up!!

I love this pic...

Pose for mommy!!

Okay...so I had to take a pic of one of the million vending machines

here so you could see what I have been talking about!

Of course I got a Mt. Dew. I guessed the kids might like the 3rd one on the bottom row. Success!! They liked it!!


Noah wouldn't stop playing around long enough to take a picture with us...

I love this sink!!

Going down the zip line!! Wheeee!!! You know I had to do it too.

This time I didn't fall though!

The kids loved this roped cage climby thing!

Sebastian, Elijah, Noah, and Olivia

Where's Max??

My beautiful boy...

Playing on the banana boat!!
