Trip to the Botanic Gardens

Drew and I made our first trip back to the Botanic Gardens since our wedding.  We went for the sole purpose of visiting My Big Backyard to help entertain Chase for a few hours.  We went at 9 in the morning since the heat index was supposed to go up to 110 that day!  We strolled along the little path visiting as many things as we could.  Even that early in the morning though, it was really hot!  Thankfully we rounded our way to the water sprinkler area right at the time Chase's face was a red as a tomato!  He had a ball!

Now I'm about to overload you with pictures! :)

A little commentary about these pictures - We heard the "thunder" when we were in the Wizard garden and we rushed over to catch the rain.  I didn't really know what to expect here.  I figured it would be a light misting.  When we got there, it had just started misting and one other boy about a year older than Chase was hanging around there and another family just sitting around.  Chase enjoyed the misting and then the heavy "thunder" started and the water just started pouring.  The other kid ran to his mom and Chase started squealing and running around in circles.  The family on the bench started cheering him on and he was loving it!  If there is one thing he loves more than water, it's attention!  He was the only one that played in the water and he left drenched!
