What a good day I had yesterday! June and Mason got here at their regular time, and we got everything ready & headed over to pick up my friend Sherry and her grandson Will, and went to Lineberger Park in Gastonia to check out the Splash Pad. Kelli Gilreath had told me about it when I saw them at Addie & Lee’s the Fourth of July, and sure enough, it was great. We splashed, at the picnic lunch we brought, the kids ran all over the fields up near the picnic table, and we finished up our day on the playground. Great fun.
Then soon after I got home Lindee, Emma and the girls arrived, & we went to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens to take in the Corpse Plant. It was bizarre looking, but had actually finished blooming – it only lasts about 48 hours – and therefore wasn’t nearly as stinky as it would have been earlier, I don’t think. We did get a couple of “good” whiffs. They also had extended the Zimsculpt exhibit for another week, so we got to check it out. We had loved it when we were there last year, so that was a pleasant surprise. Clara’s favorite sculpture was The Eagle – of course :-). What a good day.
