Thanksgiving Point

Against better judgment, we went to the children's gardens at Thanksgiving Point on the Hottest Day Ever. Because of the heat, we didn't stay too long, but we did enjoy ourselves while we were there.

The gardens have fun shaded areas sectioned off where kids can play with instruments, build with blocks, climb, and perform on stages.

Lydia, lover of music, had a blast with this instrument.



It was even more fun to play a duet with Daddy.




We were able to go into the big gardens for a minute to see this waterfall. I think I've heard that it's the biggest human-made waterfall in North America. To tell you the truth, I expected more. There were bigger parts than what are shown in this picture, but still. Not as impressive as it's claim.



Back in the children's garden, they had a fun lighthouse where kids could play. Ryan enjoyed climbing up to the second story.




And then, of course, Lydia wanted her turn.



The grounds were really beautiful, even though we were all melting under the hot sun.

We were really grateful for the Noah's Ark water feature. We didn't realize this was here, so we didn't bring a swimsuit for Lydia. Fortunately, she didn't mind!
