Dallas Arboretum

We visited the Dallas Arboretum this past Monday (9-7-09). It turned out to be a nice day for being outside. It was hot and humid, but not near as bad as our 103 zoo trip last month. The arboretum was having a playhouse exhibit, so we were able to view 14 or 15 houses. The theme this year was storybook and fairytales. We saw houses based on Peter Pan, 1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Hansel and Gretel, Alice in Wonderland, and many more.

These are only a small sampling of the pictures we took.

Lukas ready for the arboretum, complete with zoo map. (We got him a new map after we got our tickets.)

He looks so big in this picture!

This was probably my favorite playhouse.

His smile these days is usually more of a grimace...oh well at least he's not camera shy.

Mimi, Papa, and Lukas

He LOVES Koi fish.

The water wall...he could have stayed here for hours.

The Swaynes.

We snagged a picture of just us!

He very much wanted to ride these deer.
