My mom and I took the kids into the Bronx today. We headed to the New York Botanical Gardens. The Gardens are running an exhibit called Moore in America and the works of Henry Moore are being exhibited all over the garden. We had no idea how the kids were going to enjoy the garden but we knew there was a kids garden and there were things for the kids to see and touch so we took a chance.
I am so glad we did!!
Nicholas and Addison had a BALL! Nicholas was in love with all of the sculptures and enjoyed seeing and feeling the flowers. I was worried he was going to try and pick them or pull at the leaves but he didn't. He did great and was just engrossed by everything!
We had lunch in the garden and set off exploring. Nicholas picked out a few specific sculptures that he wanted to see so we made sure to see all of those plus some extras. I had one piece that I wanted to see, and that took us ALL DAY to find! (We walked past it twice!) We took lots of pictures. Nicholas climbed a few sculptures that he was not supposed to and Addison loved walking and running through the gardens and grass.
After a fun day in the gardens we headed over to Arthur Avenue and Little Italy in the Bronx for some Italian delicacies- Cookies and Bread! Nicholas and Addison enjoyed their first authentic Italian ices, as did mommy and grandma- not our first! After purchasing our goodies we headed home to share the entire day with pop-pop and daddy!!
We just took Addie out of the stroller and she was exploring the Garden Maze

This is a 9-11 Memorial dedicated to those community members of the Bronx that died on 9-11. It's in the children's garden.
Checking out the Butterfly Chair
They loved this bridge in the Children's Garden

I know Nicholas looks so small but I love this picture!

This was my choice...We SEARCHED for this piece!

Entering the Children's Garden
Those are ribbons hanging on the sides...Nicholas and Addie loved them!

You do so many fun things with the kids. Every time you post I think I should take some notes so as Ana gets bigger I can visit some of the things you post about.
WOW! This looks like it was a lot of fun. Glad the kids enjoyed it too!
