On Tuesday, the last day of March, my parents and I took the girls out for an outing to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, as the weather is finally starting to warm up! It’s my Dad’s favorite local garden/park to go to, so it’s become a sort of annual tradition to visit a few times a year! He took a lot of photos, so I thought I’d share some here on the blog.

Mio loves this park too, and she was happily skipping and running all over the place!

Some videos from when we got to the gazebo:

The girls sitting in the gazebo. I love the plaque that reads, “We are all meant to shine.”

I love this photo of a couple sitting by the pond, watching the geese. The gardens will be even more beautiful when all the flowers come into bloom!
