Botanical Gardens

Today was fun, a nice morning trip to the botanical gardens, which began with a lovely breakfast at mcdonalds for TLOML and me. She had the pancakes and i had half a hash brown.I wasnt hungry but i did enjoy it After picking up pepper we proceeded to meet the Machado's for our little excursion.
As is normally the case we never seem to go from point a to b, there is always a detour and today was no exception as we stopped off at a nice little prata place next to the gardens to grab some food for those who were hungry. Anway the main purpose of
todays trip was so that Mr.Machado could test out his flashy new Sony Camera, and we had some willing models on had for us :). The kids enjoyed the trip, i think the space to run around and explore on their own was a thrill especially for michael, while we walked around taking pictures(Philip Jr aka baba aka boyo had a camera too) Megan stayed with TLOML by a pond , i am sure firing away with the many questions she has. We didnt realy take a mega walk just a gentle stroll around looking for what we could see or for anything that captured our fancy. Philip Jr spotted some squirrels and of course cameras were blazing left right and center...i didnt get anything good so no post on the tree rats. Pepper too seemed to enjoy herself and made many friends, the place was pretty crowded with many friendly people and their pets. We met a lady who had a pram and in the pram was a birdcage and in in the birdcage was a bird, yes thats right she walks the bird..cage and all and she told us she does this daily...it takes all sorts eh
I would rate today highly on the "nice time" scale. We should do these things more often. After all the excitement including a quick lunch and the Moo and Doo's place, pepper is now fast asleep under the table as i write this. legs kang kang all cheh not shy this dog.
The one shot i did like today was of a palm tree with the sky and clouds behind it, i always find it hard to get a nice blue sky but i think i did it this time.
