Botanical Gardens Trip

Filed Under Fifteen Months, Outings, Teething, Weight | 2 Comments

We went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens on Wednesday morning with Amy and Kaitlynn. You can read her blog post about it here. It wasn’t so hot, but it was really muggy. I should have pulled my hair back. That’s all I kept thinking. Bailey was a little crabby because of her bottom right molar coming in. It looks so painful, just poking about halfway through her gums. The whole tooth isn’t even through, just like two of the points on it. I don’t envy her at all with this teething business.

Anyway. Aside from the crabbiness, Bailey seemed to have a good time. She played on some of the sculptures like last time, and she even posed for a picture and I managed to get a good one!

Bailey also wandered around a lot and put her snacks down on the ground to go play. Then, she would walk back over and pick up her snack out of the dirt and try to eat it again. She also got really sweaty and sticky. But here are a few shots of her playing and sharing snacks with Kaitlynn.

The last thing we did there was put the girls in an empty fountain to play. That sounds bad, but it worked out really well. There is a new area and they hadn’t filled the fountain yet. Bailey and Kaitlynn were both kind of wandering off and just being generally in weird moods. So we put them inside this fountain and they ran around and played in there for a bit. It was nice not to have to chase them. Bailey seemed to enjoy being in there, too.

A day at the Botanical Gardens can really wear you out!

Sometimes I think treadmills are a good idea, but if I could just motivate myself to go walk places like BG or the zoo I would probably enjoy it a lot more, and so would Bailey. By the way, I lost 3.8 pounds this week! Finally making progress.
