Autumn Gardening (2)

We went to find drier places to explore.  The puppet theatre is fun, but it became apparent that it was past time for a snack, and children were getting a little cranky. 
So off to the tea party at the tree house, where other kids also sit and snack.
Then Maia was off to explore. The rope-and-plank bridge was a LOT of fun for Maia. But not so much fun that she couldn't peek through and give a shout out to Parker and Nana!


Closing time was approaching, so we started heading back.  
We stopped briefly at the sculpture entitled "Mad Mom" (Tom Otterness).
Why is she mad, momma?  
Probably because her children weren't using their listening ears.
Continuing up the path, we stopped to watch the pigeons (can we call them doves? it sounds so much nicer!) at the bird feeding station.
Nana got down to watch with Maia, and tell her a little bit about what was going on.  Oh, and maybe if Maia was still enough, a bird would wander close to her.
One did.
Maia wasn't sure she liked that at first... but then maybe she did!
I'm sure this is wishful thinking, but can I get a pic of both my kids sitting amid these mammoth pumpkins?
No? How about just Maia then?
Hmm. Okay then.
Fine. Lovely.
