Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden

So, still in April (I will catch up one day!)…my mom and I took the kids to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Gastonia, NC.  We went in between early spring blooms and late spring blooms, but the garden was beautiful, and Zoe and Cole had a blast running around and checking out all of the fountains, flowers, and just exploring everything.

< Our first ladybug sighting of the year. >

< Snapdragons – one of Zoe’s favorite flowers; she thinks the name is funny. >

< The main fountain in the canal garden portion of the gardens. >

< Zoe and Cole play on a wooden statue structure. >

< A cool interactive fountain.  The fountain turns on when you run through.  Zoe had a blast; Cole not so much – he refused to run through. >
