Story Time and the Botanic Gardens

After walking the bank last Thursday (see my last post), we stopped by the library on our way home.  It just so happened to be story time.  Our local library has story time for toddlers and for "babies."  We were there for the toddler story time, and it was a bit too advanced for the girls.  They didn't know what was going on.  I was afraid to take them out of the stroller because once they have the freedom to walk around, they scream when I try to put them back in the stroller.  Screaming at the library would be such a nightmare, and it's not like I can just carry all three of them out of there while pushing the stroller.  This could get interesting.  Next time I'm going to go to the "baby" story time, but I'm still scared to take them out of the stroller.

This morning we took the girls to the Botanic Gardens again.  It was much nicer this time because Katie and Izzy-B can walk around.  They had a lot of fun playing.  True to form, when we put Katie back in the choo-choo wagon to go to another part of the gardens, she screamed.  UGH!  At one point, kids got into our empty choo-choo wagon and their dad took them on a ride.  We didn't say anything because they didn't leave the area we were in, but it took them a few minutes to figure out that it didn't belong to the gardens.  The dad was pulling the kids around, but it was the mom who realized it belonged to us - of course!  It was really warm and sunny when we first arrived, but it soon turned a bit chilly.  The last time I tried to use the sunglasses, the girls kept taking them off.  This time they left them alone.
