Shortly after Samantha’s Birthday we had the joy of being able to spend some time with two of our other nieces. Unfortunately we missed our niece Holly’s birthday and baptism due to us being out of town in San Francisco. So we made up for it by having Holly and her sister Jill over for some fun a couple of weekends later. We did a lot of fun things. But I think the most fun was our trip to a nearby Japanese Garden. Here are some pictures of us at the garden.
We got the chance to feed the coy. They were hungry fishes. You know, no matter how old you get this is always fun!
We took a lot of close up pictures of the coy. They were just so cool looking.
And then of course. You guys know me. I always have to take landscape pictures with no people in them. So here are a few.
This is a little house on the property. No one lives there. This is just where they perform their Japanese tea ceremony. I think it is weekly that they do it, but you can get tickets to watch. We never have, though it would be fun I think. Though, it looks like a very pretty place to live if people weren’t watching you all the time. =)
After we walked around the garden we went to a nearby park and played around for a little while. I don’t think I have been on a swing set since I was a kid so it was fun to do that again. =)
I hope the girls had fun and I hope this made up for us missing Holly’s birthday and her special day! I am so proud of her!
