The Saturday Outing: Don't Go

Grandma Montana was here this weekend. And we hauled her along on the Saturday outing.
More on our visit together later.

And we made the unfortunate mistake of going to My Big Backyard at the Memphis Botanical Garden. You may have seen it when Georgia shared her visit.
It was completely unimaginative.



It was gross.


And the toys were too small.



And there weren't any restrictions on where the kids could go.




And they got wet.





Well, we did get a shot of them all together.






But there were bugs everywhere.







And look at these disgusting, hungry fish.
I wouldn't go if I were you. Definitely don't buy the reasonably-priced membership and go as much as you want.

THAT is one cool outing!

Yes, the kids look miserable! So sorry for the bad recommendation! Hope we don't accidently run into you there! Probably not, though because we prefer the very reasonably priced *free* Wednesdays! Love the pictures!

Alas. We don't get Wednesday outings. But seriously, the most interesting part to us was how few people were really there. The rain in the forecast may have had a part, but it was really a great day and a wonderful place to let them wander.

Looks like a modern-day version of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory...what fun !!!!

I know you weren't really trying to convince me not to go, but the mob of fish about to attack one of your precious girls?! That did it for me. Fish are disgusting.

It's so cool to have a place all to yourselves!! And while the mob of fish do kind of look scary, I'm sure the kiddos thought they were great!

And since there were no posts of scrapes or crying, I'm saying this was a WONDERFUL outing for all:)
