The Botanical Gardens has a model train setup every year.  It is huge and lots of fun.  Last year we went on New Years Eve and it was pretty nuts, so we didn't see a ton.  This year we went early-ish in the morning, and as we were wrapping up it started getting crowded.  (Yay me!). 

There is a seek and find, so the boys searched all over to find the hidden things (different plants, different toys, etc).  Z of course found most of them, but he directed the boys to find them.  We had a fabulous time. 

When it started getting crowded we bundled up (it was pretty chilly) and made our way to the Climatron, and then the indoor basement section where we never spend any time.  My general thought is why be inside when it is beautiful outside, but it was cold, so this day we had a fun time exploring.  There are books, a puppet stage, dress up clothes, puzzles, and there was a table to make snowflakes.  We played happily by ourselves for about 30 minutes, then the crowd from the trains made its way over, and we headed out for lunch and the bus stop.  It was so much fun!
