Well It's Not Chihuly But...

Another beautiful day....another outing. Today's destination was the Missouri Botanical Garden. Besides having a really cool Children's Garden (which is basically a huge playground of caves, tree houses, slides, climbing things etc), they're having an exhibit of outdoor sculptures by a French artist named Niki. They're huge mosaic pieces, most of which are made to be touched and climbed upon. Nicholas was in heaven, although when asked by Tom tonight if he preferred Niki or Chihuly (who had an installation at the Botanical Garden last year sponsored by Tom's company), there was no question. Chihuly will always be his first love. :)

I must mention that today we discovered Charlotte's love of eating bark chips. That's a first...

This one is aptly titled - "Cat"

On a side note, besides her first taste of bark chips, Charlotte had her first kolache today. If you don't know what that is, you are surely missing out. Hers was filled with scrambled eggs and cheese.

Nicholas quote of the day -

"Mama, that man had a bug in his mouth!" (while pointing out the car window while we're at a light)

"What do you mean, babe?"

"That man had a bug in his mouth, so he opened his door and spit it out"
Nice. Really nice.
