We found out Friday that the Atlanta Botanical gardens does "Goblins in the Gardens" one Sunday before Halloween. Our original plan was to get there at 11 when it opened, but that just didn't happen! Leave it to Emma Catherine to take a super long nap the one day we don't want her too - wait, scratch that, we want her to take long naps any day she needs them... By the time we got to the gardens the sun was at the worst angle for this amateur photographer to take photos, but here are a few to show some of our fun!
Emma Catherine loved decorating her pumpkin.
Of course mommy helped too!
She loved showing off her pumpkin to the volunteer she just met as well =)
Here she is just walking around acting like she owned the place
My favorite part was the cornucopia of blown glass pumpkins - the pictures just don't do it justice

Pretty flower =)
Then she talked with daddy about the birds and the bees - literally "those are bumble bees, they buzz, and pollinate flowers"
Bo and EC playing in the children's garden. Also huge and really cool, but there just wasn't enough time to enjoy it all. If you look closely, you will notice EC holding her bag of popcorn. This is really all she cared about at the time so it was easy to make a quick exit before she followed the sick - hacking up a lung - kid down the slide.
Just the three of us girls!
I love this tree of blown glass pears. Bo can you make me one for the backyard, please honey?
A really nice guy offered to take a picture of the three of us on the sky bridge. He actually knew how to use our camera. Maybe I will get to take that photography class next month, so I can learn to use our camera a little better...
Here is EC chugging her drink as usual. You can seriously hear the gulps just like you could when she used to nurse.
The pumpkin was also great for the ride home. I think Emma Catherine liked removing the stickers almost as much as she liked putting them on! Please note the small stickers on her face =)
It was a very nice afternoon, but too short to enjoy everything! Hopefully we will make it back to the gardens again soon!

I have heard several times lately how great the botanical gardens is for kids. So, these pics really make me want to go! She is really so stinkin' precious!
Thank you! It really is a wonderful place for entertaining children for hours! I only had a couple pictures of just one part of the children's garden, but it seemed endless!
