75 Days of Summer Fun #11 - The Botanic Gardens at Chatfield State Park

I took Lexi, Levi, and our new friend, Nikki, to the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield for a warm afternoon adventure. We enjoyed exploring, hiking, and a picnic lunch. Here's a glimpse into the fun...



(Note to self: remind the kids they will be covered with insects if they climb the trees...
and read the signs that say "No climbing on the copper sculpture.")

Playing on the "playground..." We had to build it before we could play.



Cooling off in the sprinklers on one of the few manicured lawns in the Gardens.
