Huntington Gardens

 My mom needed to pick something up for her house near Huntington Gardens and so she invited us to join her and explore the grounds. There was a museum which we sped through because D was a little to interested in the things on display. Then we found the children's garden which was perfect for everyone. They had lots of hands on things for the kids.
 Everyone got so involved. It was fun to watch them learn together.
 The outside garden had so many fun ideas that I would love for my parents to put in their yard. This was a bunch of nails sticking towards each other and when you put sand in the top it made music as it went down.
 There was a volcano made of plants and it even had steam coming out.
 E was happy to be outside so much. Such a good baby!
 Leaving the kids garden to explore all the other gardens.
 The Chinese and Japanese gardens were  so pretty.
 Surprisingly the desert gardens were pretty too. We were going to skip it but then got lost and ended up there. It was hot and the walk was up hill so we had to take a little break.
 We ended at the rose gardens. I was surprised at all the different varieties of roses. The girls enjoyed reading the names of the roses.
All of my kids seem to love maps. As we were leaving this girls was still exploring. We will definitely be back!
