Beautiful Botany

This week we had a fun adventure at the Memphis Botanical Gardens. We were delighted to see that something within Memphis honestly can be described as beautiful. There were expansive lawns and manicured flowers, trees, and hedges. If any of you come to visit us, we'll probably take you to this place just so that you think we're living in a great city.

Max loved the sandbox. When he saw the dinosaur he flapped his arms and hands, pointed to it with an outstretched finger, and clamored "Oouu Oouu."

At the Japanese Gardens we found some geese who were interested in our fish food. Max flapped his arms with glee, even as the geese menacingly hissed and tried to scare us, as if that would make us surrender our fish food. (Notice how Max zones everything around him out when he notices the camera.)

We finally got to use our fish food for the fish. The coi weren't the only ones who appreciated these nutritious snacks. Watch on.

There's nothing more fun than exploring a new city. I'm glad to see you've got fun places. It was hard coming home from our vacation knowing all of friends and family had left Columbus. We miss you too! Maybe we'll have to meet in TN during the cold winter months!
