Powell Gardens

The weather this weekend was absolutely beautiful so we took advantage and spent just about the whole time outside. Today we trekked over to Powell Gardens, a beautiful botanical garden a bit east of Lee's Summit, Missouri. It was a great spot! And Christopher kept telling us over and over again how "wonderful" he thought the place was. He was very happy there and as we left he said, "Mommy I wish we could stay here longer. I wish we could stay for our whole lives!" Among other things, we visited the waterfall and perennial gardens, the Marjorie Powell chapel, and a fantastic complex of vegetable gardens that included the entire story of Peter Rabbit which Chris acted out twice. Here are some pictures of the boys from today...




And here are some of my favorite nature pictures from this beautiful place (blogger is only letting me choose two so here they are!)...
