Today was the day the scarecrows were made for the Children's Garden. Billy went this morning to help and here he is with his scarecrow, Marlie.

Another quiet trip to Dow Gardens
We made our first trip of the year to Dow Gardens on June 1, 2002. Their thermometer said 100 degrees in the sun and 88 in the shade!

Billy and Christopher watch the waterfall at Dow Gardens. Somewhere I have a picture of my sister and I doing this same thing when we were kids.
Do you see how close Christopher got to the duck before he headed for the water?

Christopher and Billy check out the different cactus plants.

This is something new at Dow Gardens! They have a Children's Garden and it is so cool. I will have some more pictures later. My digital camera would only hold 11 pictures. Luckily I had brought my old camera and when I send the film in I can put those on here too.
The children's garden has this really neat like water fountain that you can take your shoes and socks off and stand on the stone. Then water shoots out of one of the three holes in the stone. It's really fun.

See how the water shoots up out of the rock?
