Yesterday we went to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The experience was nearly a disaster as Ollie was stung by a wasp several times after only about 15 minutes of being at the gardens. Of course it was also lunch time, it was hot, and Oliver was tired. He cried hysterically so we decided to leave just to get him in the air conditioned van. He fell asleep quickly and we ended up eating Taco Bell in the van (instead of the yummy looking sandwiches the garden cafe was serving). We decided to go back to the Botanical Gardens and try again. Damian, Clara and Isabel went back in while Marla stayed in the van until Ollie woke up. Luckily the people there were very understanding and we didn't have to pay for parking and admittance a second time.

Poor Isabel is always in the stroller.
There is a Texas pioneer village to educate children (and their parents). Clara and Ollie had a great time going in and out of the structures like this sod house.

Thank goodness for the toad fountains at the end of our day when we were hot and sweaty.
