Yes, we were very busy the week before Ben's orientation began. We figured that things were about to get crazy and stressful, so we wanted to make the most of the "vacation time" we had left. That Tuesday we met some of my extended family at The Gardens at Thanksgiving Point. My Aunt Alysa came with her 5 children and my cousin Stephanie came with her 3 children (including her 3-week old baby - what a trooper!). We all loved hanging out and enjoyed the amazing landscaping.

Don't fall in, Carson!
My cousins were so sweet and helpful with the young children.
Madi, in particular, spent a lot of time with Eliza.
The kids loved the Koi pond.

That place looks really cool! All the flowers are sooo pretty! It must be weird to be able to be outside and enjoying things this time of year...it's still in the high 90's here, blah.
ReplyDeleteI hope nobody fell off the bridge over the pond and stepped on/ killed a koi fish. Everyone at the office would laugh.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful, magical place! And Catherine has grown so much! I'm so glad you can be with fam. and see such beautiful things!
