Dave and I took Eli to the Gardenland Express one year to the day we took him last year (Click here). The Missouri Botanical Garden (AKA Shaw's Garden) in St. Louis mixes beautiful floral displays with model trains. It's very popular with grandparents and their grandchildren.
It really is a wonderful December activity.
They usually have some full-scale items like the Farmall tractor and a model of a visitor's center on the Appalachian Trail which was the theme this year.
I don't think I got any photos of Eli where there wasn't blurriness---it was so hard for him to contain his excitement.
Despite the warnings, it was hard for a 3 year old NOT to stand on the edging.
I should have known that with all of his excitement he would fall off the edging, face first into the floral arrangement. He wasn't hurt and I think I covered up the bruised and crushed plants pretty well. I kind of wish I'd gotten a photo of him, though.
I always love the little vignettes in model train displays like the one above.
It is a great time for all ages.
But, I do wish I had one unblurry photo of Eli.
