Butterfly House and Old MacDonald

Monday we had our 34 week doc appointment in Norfolk. No exciting news to report there...everything just seems to be going normal but I was reminded that the labor could be very different from the first...LETS HOPE SO!!! :)

Then although it was very overcast I decided to take a chance and head to the Botanical Gardens. They are actually on the way home from the doc and since we have a membership it just seemed worth a try. And what a great way to kill two hours it was! :) It did end up raining on us, but mostly just a light drizzle until we caught the tram on the way back. And so much cooler temps than we could have asked for...beautiful!


Lorelei enjoyed the butterfly house where she got to see several butterflies, the cocoons, and a LOT of caterpillars. It was especially good timing since we happen to have "The Very Hungary Catterpillar" book from the library this week.




















Then we were able to trek back to the Storybook Forest and visit Old MacDonald. Thankfully it was not very busy (although a surprising amount of people there like us in the rain) so she got to ride her tire horse swing to her hearts content, and also enjoyed playing around in the barn.

It made for a wonderful morning for us!
