The most recent outing was to the Mercer Arboretum in Spring, TX. We had been there many times, but we had never been on a tour. It was exciting to see all the different kinds of flowers and plants there with a guide pointing them out.
One of the first areas we explored was the herb garden. The children (and adults) were able to rub their fingers on the leaves and then smell them. There were pepper mint leaves, thyme, cilantro, and even a choco-mint leaf that smelled just like a girl scout cookie.
All of the kids really enjoyed Storey Lake (which I did not know was there) - they were able to see the turtles and even spotted a snake on the walk back.
The weather was nice and just a great day to enjoy God's craftsmanship.
Looks like you had a good time :).
