A Vist to Tyler Arboretum~

We have a beautiful arboretum just a few miles from our home.  We always enjoy our visits, but it had been quite a while since we had been, so this trip was especially fun.  It was also special because it was Gracia's first trip to the arboretum...she was just three days old.

Sweet sisters~

The John Tyler Arboretum is a wonderful place...paths and trails, gardens, all sorts of beautiful nature.  It has an interesting history too.  And the treehouses...the girls love the treehouses :)

We walked around for almost 3 hours...simply enjoying our day and our time together as a family.  We checked out the treehouses and enjoyed the new fairy exhibit.  Bella and Sophia had a blast and I think Gracia liked it too...granted, she slept almost the entire time :)

I love this place!

 Here are some more pics from our visit~ 

Monkeys at the arboretum?

Here are some of the treehouses...they are pretty neato!

The treehouse below is one of our faves...if you look closely, you'll see that it's a guitar and a drum...inside the drum is a music room...the girls LOVE it!

Another favorite treehouse~

It has a translucent floor...very modern and cool~

These are some of the Fairy Houses...they were cool too and the girls had fun checking them out.

One of the treehouses has a dress-up box...always fun!

Bella loved the purple cloak~

What a fun day!
