This weekend we ventured out to the Gardens for Paige’s first visit. The place was packed, but we had a great morning and Liam was psyched about seeing the scarecrows. The difference between this trip and the last time we went (when I was very pregnant, the heat index hit 105, and Liam was pre-preschool and big brotherhood and therefore much less adventurous) was night and day.
