Mother's Day together

On Mother's Day we went to Longwood Gardens. Everybody else in Delaware and Pennsylvania (and all their moms) was also there - we've never seen it so busy! It was gorgeous out! We were blessed with a wonderful day together. Nate, Viggo and Svea made everything sweet - as usual!

A nice Japanese tourist offered to take our photo. Svea couldn't get her hands out of her mouth and Viggo is making a face because he's wiggling a loose tooth with his tongue. But family photos of us are rare, so this picture is a keeper.

Viggo playing with the fountain in the Idea Garden.

We had fun feeding the catfish. But wow, are they ugly. Svea kept saying, "Catfish - stanky! Eww!" (Viggo defended them and said they were cute.) I'm sure they were very stinky but thankfully we didn't get close enough to find out.

You might be thinking, if it was so busy, why is no one else in this picture? There's a good reason this path is called the Hidden Walk.

What a little sweetie.
Even though there were plenty of blooms everywhere, I really didn't have time to take photos of flowers. There were so many people that if you stopped to take a photo, you ran the risk of being run over. We'll just have to go back again soon.

Without fail, Viggo finds another tree to climb before we go.

  2. The family photo is great, you look fantastic, the kids are adorable...
    I WANT THAT FLOWER PICTURE IN MY HOUSE. I'M SERIOUS. How much do you charge for large prints? Like a 10x13 or 11x14? I don't even know what kind of flower it is :)
