I took everyone to the treehouse farm . They had a great time there too. The chicken love their weed salad.






Mom's first time to pet a deer.



The Swan lake and Iris Gardens. I was trying to copy past the history of this place and can't seem to do it. The story is back in the early 1900's a rich man had tried to grow Japanese Iris's and they failed miserably. He had his help dig them up and throw them in a nearby swamp where they flourished. 8 different species of swans now inhibit the lake some as far away as Australia.

















These are the tree roots. I think it's a Cyprus tree. They were cool.













They even had an old cranky goose there. I guess the old saying if you have a swan in your pond they will scare away the geese is wrong.










Man I need a Tan.







The park is so peaceful and proves that spring is in the air.








This is a picture of some of the swamp







They had a walkway over the busy road to get to the other side of the park. It was really cool.







I can see us coming to this park alot.This weekend if it doesn't rain I want to take Leia here for some Easter Pictures.








Mom and Dave had a good time here.







See the swan and goose tolerate each other.








You're a Pansy and I mean it.







The biggest magnolia tree grove's I've ever seen.








We found a Ward's BBQ restaurant. It was OK. It would have been much better if they had a sweet BBQ sauce.






The good thing about someone staying in a hotel is that we can borrow the swimming pool when it's cold outside.







Leia enjoying splashing and swimming.
