Botanical Gardens

Tulsa has started building a Botanical Garden about 25 mins from our home. There isn't much there right now; a lake with a trail and 300 newly planted trees. It's on a lot over 160 acres. When it's done it will be gorgeous, I'm sure. They are trying to raise money so they can continue to add on. We went up there Saturday afternoon to check it out and have a picnic. It was so quiet and peaceful. We were the only ones out there (because hardly anyone knows about it) and we we walked around the lake with the kids. We stopped about half way around and had a little picnic lunch; something Miguel has been begging to do. The kids love being in nature! They were throwing rocks in the lake and finding any bug they could. This is definitely something we will do again soon.

Another place you'll have to take us when we come visit! Maybe it will be full grown by the time we finally make it ;-b
