There are different areas throughout the garden. Prairie, wetland, woods, etc. along with the sensory garden, storybook garden, music maze, and different play areas.
Snug was trying to teach LMM to walk from stump to stump. LMM was trying very hard...however his legs just physically are not long enough to do it!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFc4NDbfmmRd0u4vLxBZRyrhJwBaukPHfSnuL6ftPGesAgw9yIWhyrs9Jyc16-WqwO2w0M892JbJtMlRMe81MGgtJCwo7DET41Peqdc4Ee4yLhvO-y5-h5wWTJ2kTc8OCg3yNDjXqp5Js/s400/June+2010+021.jpg)
At one point we thought Snug's shorts looked kinda short on him. When he changed into his bathing suit, I noticed he was wearing 18-24 month shorts. Oops. They were perfect in the waist...but a little short for his legs! (He currently wears a 4T with the extenders in his waist band pulled all the way tight).
Rosebud liked the garden too. She spent much of her time in the stroller snoozing, but enjoyed snuggle time too. I didn't wear her in a sling because I bend over to examine way too many plants :o)
The boys love to pump the water and then use the watering cans to water the plants. Several plants are specifically labeled "water here".

This is the music maze...they've planted hedges that have different musical instruments throughout.
All the running around the boys do just makes her exhausted.
Before lunch we put the boys' swim suits on and they went wading in the stream and playing in the caves.
Snug and Little Monkey are wearing the same size swim trunks this summer. They are size 18-24 month or 2T. Snug has the "right" size, but he can't keep them on. Makes it easy on me, I just grab 2 sets and go.
Eating "peanut-jelly smamiches" and these really cool corn (and gluten-free) tortillas I found at Aldi...they are HUGE. The picnic tables are all kid sized. #1 and I were not real comfortable, but it was great for the kids.
We've been to this garden several time before, and neither of the boys liked the water fall area. Well, lo and behold today it was a favorite. As we walked by to go home, they decided they had to get in. I was glad I brought their Ear Band-its. They got soaked. Little Monkey wouldn't do anything if other kids were around, but he did the water fall once they weren't there. He doesn't normally like fountains/sprinklers but today it was a hit.

I thought we had a great children's garden but I was wrong! Really, it's free?!? Glad you had a great time out celebrating LMM!
he's getting so big! Happy Birthday!
I LOVE the last picture of everyone! :)
