Shangri La Botanical Gardens

This past Tuesday, Ethan and I went on a field trip with my family to Shangri La Botanical Gardens in Orange. I wasn't sure what we'd do there, but I knew Ethan would enjoy being outside. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that it was fun for big kids too! We walked along the trails and looked at the beautiful gardens. I'm not that into plants, but it was really pretty and peaceful. Plus, we had perfect weather (not too cold, not too hot...all we needed was a light jacket!). What more could you ask for???

Ethan loved the sandbox!

Ethan loved riding on Jake's shoulders (as opposed to holding his mama's hand...how lame........and embarrassing!)

Here's a video of Ethan marching and walking around like a crazy person. So cute!
