they (Tim) took me to Flandrau State Park. We hadn't been there for a couple of years. As soon as we drove in the gate we saw two white tail deer grazing right up by the road.
We went for a bit of a walk and all the way Connor was pestering me about going back to eat food. he only wanted to eat the pretzels we brought.
after we ate the kids played around on the jungle gym they have there.
the sun finally came out and it warmed up a little bit so the kids played here for quite a while, and they played very well together - which is a nice switch. it seems that when we are out of the house they like each other much more.
as we were leaving town, we made a spontaneous stop at the Schell's Brewery. Yeah, I know... mormons at a brewery on a Sunday... but we just walked around the gardens. I have some vague memories of walking around there when I was little. it had been over 20 years since I have been there but the little gnomes are still there. I didn't take any pictures of them because, honestly, they're kind of creepy little things.
all the plants infront of the kids in this picture are lilly of the valley. it smelled so nice with all those little flowers. I really should plant some at my house.

Flandrau was where we had Girl's Camp my first year. That was such a monumental experience for me. You and Adrienne were hilarious.
I want to see pictures of the creepy gnomes!
If you want some Lilly of the Valley you can have mine! They are growing all over the place in my front flower bed by the house. They are going to choke my hostas if I'm not careful. They are pretty invasive so if you want them, make sure you plant them where you don't care if they take over everything. Otherwise contain them in a big planter. Their roots spread far and wide. Seriously, if you want some I'll be happy to try to dig some of mine up for you. Otherwise I'm just going to be digging them up and throwing them away.
I'll take them!!!!!!
do you ever cut them and put them in food coloring? it's so cool
birrd, each time we go there I think of that year. it was so hilarious. ahhh, the good old days. :)
maybe I'll have to go back to the brewery and take a few pictures of those creepy little nissen for you.
