It’s been nearly a year since Kwabena and I went to Brookside Gardens. I’d been wanting to go back for quite a while, but it was never the right time. Well, today it was 80 degrees, blue skies, and THE perfect whether. Ahhhhh…..
We first went to Chipotle and split a burrito (Kwabena shocked me that he actually ate–gasp!– black beans!!). The weather was so gorgeous sitting out on that patio, munching away on our burrito and sippin’ sweet Pineapple Banana juice. So relaxing! Kwabena was getting a kick out of feeding the little birds that were hanging around the left over rice 🙂
Afterwards, we stopped at McDonald’s and shared a hot fudge sundae, which was nice. Then we drove to Brookside Gardens. SUPER NICE!! I never get over the beauty of that place. The manicured lawns, the gorgeous flowers; it’s just so serene. I envy the few people sitting out, lunching, picnicing. I feel like we don’t do those types of activities nearly enough.
Anyhow, Kwabena had a BALL playing in the sprinklers that just happened to pop up and start spraying us! He discovered that he can turn the sprinklers any way he wanted to, by hand, and spray people, which he later said was the most fun part of the day! LOL
It was a shame that Kwasi couldn’t be there with us 🙁 He had to work today. Whenever he has to work, it always feels like a part of our family is just not complete. Oh well…..at least he’s taking off work tomorrow and we’re going to see Monster Jam!!! 🙂
