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.
