Big Backyard at Botanical Gardens!

Went to Big Backyard at Botanical Gardens this past week with some friends Samantha and two of her boys Brantley and Brayden and Jennifer and her two boys Issac and Caleb. We had SO much FUN!

Max loved all the swings in the garden area!


Our first playhouse stop!

Max of course tried to pull the things off the wall. Ha!

I thought this was a cute picture of the boys checking out the wall of goodies!


This was our next stop and I think it was one of Max's FAVORITES! They had all kinds of different mallets and things to play musical instruments. You could beat on everything in this house to make LOT of NOISE!
Max and Caleb making there way up!


Max loved being able to beat on everything for it to make different noises!

Loved this pic! He is on his tippy toes to play the xylophone!


Max and Brantley hitting the mixing bowls on the wall! I think those were the most noisy of all!

What a face!

After pulling Max out of the house of rock and running after him a few times because he kept trying to go back! HA! We went over to the little Country home! It had a clothes line out so you could pretend to wash clothes and on the inside of the house was a chalk board. Caleb and Max played a little with the chalk!

We took a little break and sat on the back porch! We all had some yummy watermelon Italian ice! We got cooled off and went to play some more! We started off in this nature area! Can't remember what it was called.

Now that is one BIG bird nest!

Max sat in this area for a minute and played! Just love the tables made out of tree trunks!

Okay if you look closely at Max's eyes in this picture....I am pretty sure he is telling me he has ha ENOUGH of the pictures! Ha! I did take quite a few pictures today!


Everything in this area was about nature!

Next stop was the Treetop Adventure! It was a big playground!

Max wasn't too sure about the bridge!


This was a ramp all the way up to the treetop area. Max ran down the entire ramp. It was pretty long. It was too cute watching his little legs go!

This was inside the tree house. It had all kinds of learning things about birds!

Our last and final stop! The RAINDROP SHOP! I think this area was Max's all time FAVORITE! Because of course it involved water! It had this wadding area to play in!

While we were playing in the creek area it started thundering and then down came the rain from all these sprinkler heads!

Max loved it! I couldn't believe it! He was running through the ran and laughing with all the big kids! He was absolutely SOAKED when the rain stopped!

He didn't care about being wet! He went right back over to the creek area after the rain stopped and was splashing around!

He just sat right in that water like it was a pool just his size! So adorable!

Splashing around with the big boys!

Tried to get a picture of him sitting in the boat....but the boy wanted back in the water! Max it such a little water lover!


A little more splashing!

After a little crying I got Max away from the water! It was lunchtime!

I striped Max down while he ate so that he would be dry enough to put on clean clothes! He didn't seem to mind! We had a picnic lunch while everyone was drying!

All dry and packed up ready to go home!

We didn't get out of the parking lot good and Max was asleep!

What a FUN day! Can't wait to go back again!

Go TiGeRs!

Max looked cute in orange but he also looked pretty cute in his BLUE! Got to wear his blue for hid daddy! Go Tigers!

Max upset here because he wanted to go outside and play around the pool!
Don't my boys look so cute in their blue attire! This was the first Tigers game and Craig's aka daddy's birthday! Sunday Sept. 6th! Happy Birthday babe! So glad we got to spend some time together on your birthday! Hope to spend MANY more birthday with you in the years to come!

Quick family shot! It was NOT easy! Max is way too busy! Yes I am wearing blue! I try and support my hubbie when the Tiger game is on a different day than Vols!

So we celebrated Craig's bday with a TCBY ice cream cake!

Lets just say the cake looks better than it tasted! It was pretty disappointing! It was freezer burned! YUCKY! Sorry babe! I will try and do better next year!

Making some wishes!

Thanks to my mom for having some yummy food for Craig on his birthday! I got to sleep so I could go back to work and was thinking we would celebrate another day! Instead we got to celebrate on Craig's actual birthday! Thank goodness for moms! She helped make Craig's day special!
