This past weekend, we decided to go someplace WARM. Where, you might ask, seeing how I live in one of the coldest places in the entire world (or so it seems sometimes!). But yes, there is a warm place about 30 minutes from here....called the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. We headed down there Saturday afternoon with our best good friends the Shaheen's. It was so much fun--I actually felt like it was Spring (for about an hour or two anyway!). But the flowers were so beautiful and smelled terrific and it was just a great afternoon. Maia had a absolute BLAST, of course. This girl is SOOOO amazingly happy when she is outside (okay so we were in a huge greenhouse, but you don't feel like you are at all). She loved the fountains and the fish ponds the best, and of course, just running around freely. Oh they also had a little petting zoo in the back and she loved that too-the bunny rabbits especially. Anyway, I highly recommend a trip down to these gardens, especially if you are living in Buffalo right now and are just a LITTLE fed up with the cold weather--it will truly rejuvenate you! The pictures are in no particular order--I was too lazy to rearrange them so they would be chronological.
Looking for fish in the fish pond!
Doesn't this face say it all?? She loved it!
I think she might have found a fish...

More fun in the water fountains.
Posing in the petting zoo. What a perfect backdrop huh?
I love this picture of Maia because it highlights her little wispy hair tail perfectly!! Oh and she's still looking for the fish in the pond...it was really hard to drag her away from this one!
Our beautiful baby girl--she is just too cute!
More posing in the flowers...
Maia with Aunt Megan and Uncle Bron...and a big CONGRATS to them--they are expecting their first baby in September. We are all so excited for them and can't wait to meet the newest addition to their little family. Thanks you guys for being such great friends and for having fun with us this weekend!

Such cute pictures of little Maia! She is so funny. I could watch her play and listen to her jabber all day. That was really fun I am glad you called us to go!
How much does that place cost... cause I have to say, Luke is the same as Maia! OUTSIDE NOW! Ok luke it is 20 degrees you are just going to have to wait a month... Shoot! When it Does get warm we are going to have to get these two together!
Glad you had fun! Looks really neat!
Hey,
So glad that you found a warm spot even if it ws just for an hour or so. We woke up to snow this morning too. Maia is so cute, and we cant wait to see you this summer, have a great day!
What a beautiful place! I know how you feel about the cold, it just snowed here last night. :( I'm so ready for spring!
That looks like fun. I wish that we had more places like that down here. I seriously want to start a hands on museum or something here. My friend had pictures of one where she lives and I think that it would be great in Cedar. There are so many cold months where moms want to get out and take their kids places. The flowers are gorgeous.
hey crescent & dave!
I blogstalk you guys from time to time - cute pictures, I will have to take chase to the botanical gardens ASAP... let me know if maia ever wants to play with chase - we are bored. I feel like winter will never end.
thanks for the HT lesson yesterday, it was fun hanging out all together for a little joint HT-action.
You got the cutes pictures! They just made me more desperate for spring. I never knew Buffalo had a botanical garden.
Hi! We can't believe we are moving in 2 months! It'll be here before we know it. We are planning on heading out around June 8th. We are making quite the road trip out of it so it'll probably take us like 6 days to get there. We are way excited!
Thanks for your comment..we are super excited!! I love all these cute pics. It's fun to see David because I haven't seen him in so so long!
Cute pictures!! Maia is getting so big!!! I love gardens like that... it probably makes you feel like it is spring!!
Crescent... so easy to make... i just bought a 2x4 at home depot and they will cut it in half for you... i made one with my friend and so we split it, and then we each only had to pay a dollar!! We bought the hooks on ebay because they were only .99. And at home depot and walmart they were four, and well we are poor, so this had to be a cheap craft!!! The frames i had some and then bought a few at walmart and just hot glued ribbon from michaels on the back of them. So Easy!! And all under $15!!! If you decide to make one and have questions let me know!
