Longwood Gardens

Well Longwood Gardens' Fountains and Fireworks was another roaring success.  Addie and Ben about jumped out of our chairs when the opening number was Dancing Queen.  It was really a lot of fun to have the show to ABBA tunes.  There were some very rave-y moments and we were jamming along.
Going to Longwood is very much like going to Chanticleer on Mother's Day; a definite camera-filled event. Below are some of my favorites.

Addie is wearing her new sandals too.
This priceless-expression-moment was just as we entered the Children's Garden. This part opened 3 years ago in the Main Conservatory and it's a water-filled good time. They actually provide towels to dry off with if your child gets too wet.  



Looking down a spiral staircase.  Addie was doing her The Shining smile...not really.

Poor Aunt Wendy got stuck holding both kids up over her head to catch the water that shoots between the bricks.
Benjamin and Brian getting squirted. I don't know if I love Ben's expression or Brian's more!

Totally her own pose.

In the outdoor Children's Garden there are mazes too.
And really cool wing chairs...lol
And cool wooden carvings.
Overall a lovely night.
