Spring is here in Lower Alabama, and it is lovely in all its manifestations. I love going to Bellingrath each spring to try to catch the azaleas, and just to see the beautiful blooms as the gardens awaken. Ruth, Mac and I went with Jen and sweet baby Isabelle, and we had a really good time walking the paths. There is so much to enjoy with all senses, especially for children. We found polliwogs, frogs, fish, turtles, birds, fountains, and of course blooming things everywhere. Ruthie loved collecting fallen camellias, and gazing at the mermaid fountain (she has a special split fin.) She wants to be a mermaid when she grows up. Mac ended up covered in mud, from joyfully exploring every fountain and pond, and he stepped into the large lake with both feet, before I could stop him. He was a trooper though, and walked the rest of the way with completely wet and algae covered feet. Isabelle was a sweetheart, and really a good sport as we kept yanking her in and out of her cozy stroller for various photo opportunities. I love the one of her in the green, green grass (as it was St. Patty's day). Check out Jen's blog for more pictures of our fun morning.
