Dallas Arboretum

We were lucky enough to have my parents come for a visit this past week. It was fun having them here, especially with how nice the weather was. While they were here we took a visit to the Dallas Arboretum. We all had a hard time deciding how this was pronounced...pretty funny! It was a beautiful and the arboretum was absolutely gorgeous!! Before we went I was explaining to my parents how I hate the grass here because it is hard and splotchy and has fire ants all over it, and I all I want is really nice grass that we can all go outside and sit in and hang out on (I was pretty sure that that type of grass didn't exist here).....we get to the arboretum and the first thing we come upon is a big grassy area with really nice grass. I was so happy to know that we could, one day, have nice grass here in Texas. Here are the girls above this beautiful lillipad pond We got lucky and it ended up being a special kids day. So, there was a petting zoo and face painting all for free. We were too late for the face painting, but the girls loved the petting zoo.
