Arboretum

We spent a wonderful (although warm) morning at the Dallas Arboretum with Jacob's sweet friend PJ. It was so great to be able to spend some time outside and let the boys explore nature!

Jacob and PJ are ready for a morning of fun!
Our first stop was the small petting zoo that was set up. There were sheep, goats, chickens, and even a pony! Jacob enjoyed brushing the pony, but when a sheep came up behind him and nudged him gently out of the way, he was done!



Next up was a little building that was covered with flowers and housed ducks. Jacob absolutely loved running around to each doorway to get a better glimpse of the ducks and I'm convinced that he would have been perfectly happy staying there all day!







Near the ducks, we noticed some mice. Jacob enjoyed watching them run on their wheel and enjoying a little snack!
Jacob loved running around the Arboretum and especially loved smelling all the flowers!


Purple ones...


pink ones...


and yellow ones!
Before lunch, we let the boys run around in a grassy area to burn off some energy. It certainly got them ready for a yummy lunch!


Picture time!





A small pioneer area was set up near where we had lunch and Jacob particularly enjoyed the covered wagon!

Ready to eat!



Thank you so much to PJ and his mommy, Kelly, for inviting us to the Arboretum this morning! We had such a wonderful time!!!
