A perfect outing

Several weeks ago we discovered a wonderful new activity here in Kansas City; the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It has miles of lovely trails through the woods, a beautiful garden and lots of stuff for the kids. And- It's FREE!!! I love free stuff! We spent a great day wandering the trails, hanging out in the bird watch, eating lunch and enjoying the beauty of God's creativity. Here are a few photo highlights, including the after shot of Cahira and I after we slid down a particularly muddy slope. She did a perfect backwards somersault! LOL! Luckily there was a little stream at the bottom so we could wash up. If you come to visit us, it is a must that we find time to go. Or if you live in the area, be sure to check it out!
