Brendan's last field trip was to the Botanical Garden and Childrens Land. I chaperoned and took some pictures. The Childrens Land part had some rides for the kids, and ice cream vending machines, so the kids enjoyed that part. During the learning part of the trip, the gardens, they just kept asking when they could ride the rides so I didn't get as many pictures as Iwould have liked, but here are some of my favorites.

Jenna's New "Do"
Here are pictures of Jenna's before and after. We decided to donate her hair to Locks of Love and give her a cool new style for summer.

The Weasels Den
The red "barn" area is a space you can rent for parties, there's a bunch of tables and benches and a fridge.
This is the tree fort. The kids can climb up inside and slide down the slide. Or hang out in there, today someone's little girl had a bottle of bubbles up there, and the kids were just popping bubbles and having fun.

Just some pictures of my back porch. Easier to show this way.
The Self Help store on base is a place where you can pick up lightbulbs, borrow mowers and tools, get water filter replacments and other things of that kind for free. Yesterday they gave away gardening supplies. They do it once each spring on a first come, first serve basis. They do limit the amount you can take total. But I figure I got about 200 dollars worth of stuff for nothing! Pretty nice eh?
The kids each got to pick one plant from the flowers I got. Brendan chose the daisies and Jenna chose the pansies.
Here is my little plot of personal space. I hope to add some interesting rocks and maybe a stone lantern. I'd love a water feature of some sort in there, but that might be a bit much for my landscaping skills. I wanted to do a rock garden, but I don't know how to do that AND keep the green look. There's some clover and moss and nice low cover growing in there that I like and want to keep.. also some regular grass I'd like to get rid of. But I'm not sure how to do that yet without killing the other stuff.

It was very windy here today, so the kids and I tried out these mini kites we bought last year, but never had good enough wind to try.
They worked alright, but I think regular kites will be better.
Brendan's is an airplane, Jenna's is a butterfly.
