It is extremely rare that I get to spend time alone with one of my children. When I mean spend time alone I mean actually doing something fun, not grocery shopping. So when we asked the boys if they wanted to go to Oregon Garden with us they gave us a look of pure disgust and we decided we'd make a girls day of it. It was lovely. This deserves it's own post as I want our little miss to have a record of the special times we spent together. I basically want this to serve as proof that I did more with her as a toddler than just run errands. HA!
There was a nice little gift shop, a café, golf cart/tram that took people to the different areas around the grounds (thanks goodness as I didn't bring a stroller!), a kids play area and just a great place to get outdoors and enjoy each other's company. And that we did!
This was the beginning of the kids play area. They had people made out of pots, a ship with pot binoculars, toilets/tubs full of plants, a huge underground tunnel, a sand area, a tiny community complete with a small train running through it, a weird plants garden, and even a chicken coop nearby! Our little miss loves to dictate how we play so she orchestrated a whole adventure on the "ship".

The tunnel |
A visit to a garden wouldn't be complete without a few flower pictures. So here are a few of my favorite...
Last but not least a couple selfies of me and my girl. We both wore our flower headbands as it only seemed fitting. When God sent her to us He knew what He was doing.
