Romping in Botanical Gardens

Friday-The guys finished their day of school and we being the adventurous people who didn't want to sit home all day, went to the Botanical Gardens.  Its a place to walk around with different kinds of gardens in it.

Community Garden

This was growing in the compost pile.  However it was pretty.

Hoping to catch a turtle

Caleb managed to scoop a turtle out being lured in by bread, but no sooner that he got it on land that it bit him and escaped back into the water before the rest of us could get to his spot.  Then we ran out of bread so we couldn't lure them in.  A couple foreign people tried to catch the big koi fish as they passed through.  One of the guy's plan was to try and scoop it out of there.  The only thing he scooped out though was water which landed on Christian who was next to him.  It was pretty funny:)

We did see a snapping turtle head, but he wouldn't show the rest of himself so I couldn't get a picture of him.  His neck was really long so when you first see him, he looked like a snake. 

 

It was a fun day:)  Katie who had stayed home, made pizza dough so that when we got home we could make our own individual pizzas:)  It was good.

Thus concluded our Friday.
