the botanical gardens outing

last week nadi and i took the kids to the botanical gardens in downtown oklahoma city. despite the fact that we were in a glass building designed to trap heat and recieve sun on a 100 degree august day, we had a great time. the kids loved seeing the plants, climbing stone paths along waterfalls, and most of all, talking to a parrot that could repeat their greetings.



















afterwards, aliyah stretched her legs outside a bit. as some of you know, she loves running down ramps (the tunnel, the shopping cart entrance to level 3, the long stone path towards the pilgrim house and pretty much the whole itc parking lot ...) nice that she got to do it on the grass a bit. :)
