Beautiful, beautiful day today. Worthy of lots and lots of pictures. And, I’ve got loads of them.
As a Christmas present to my dad last year (yes, last year), we gave him tickets to go to Longwood Gardens with us. We tried once to go over the summer, but it was 300 degrees out so we decided to go to P.F. Changs instead. We rescheduled for today, literally the most perfect fall day to walk around outside and enjoy sheer beautiful images of creation.
Evan sorta nailed it on the head this morning when he told me something like this: “Whenever we go to Longwood Gardens, I want to play something like Indiana Jones. But, I just want to take my time. It’s all so beautiful.” Pretty profound for an 8 year old boy–an 8 year old boy who then brought a notebook and pencil for “research” and note taking of all the beautiful things he could find.

And, a few last pics of Lydia just because I love this headband and had to take some pics with it today. How could I resist? Look at her total cuteness?
Of course, I have to tell you that you can buy this sweet headband at Jiayin Designs — they are handmade and are so cool! Check them out here. I love them despite my husband’s remarks about them being too big or too girly or whatever he says…clearly, I’m blocking the comments out.
Looks like a beautiful place! And I LOVE the hair accessory! They can never be too big or too girly, can they? Me thinks not!
Glad you had a fun time!
Those are great pictures! My boys are budding scientists also.
That place looks AWESOME! Gorgeous pictures, and I LOVE the headband. I’m headed on over to check them out!!! :)
Gorgeous photos of your day!!

Um, HELLO! Shouldn’t Grace have gotten to keep that one, since she is modeling it so beautifully??? You didn’t tell me about that! So cute! And Mark, there is no such thing as “too girly” on a girl! Glad you enjoyed the Longwood with your parents! We love it there!
I love the headband that Lydia is wearing. Does it stay on well? Do you have different colors if I want more than one?
Looks like a great day all around! We did have some great weather this weekend, didn’t we?
I have a Lydia, too, and we usually make an annual trip to Garvin Woodland Gardens in the spring, but your pictures make me think we need to go this fall.
Lovely photos! And I love Lydia’s headband…very cute!
Your kids are super cute and Lydia’s headband is awesome!
