Garden Cherubs

The well-manicured lawns and gardens of the stately Stan Hywet mansion are a surprisingly wonderful place to let babies and kiddos run and roam.
We didn't dare to take them in the house, as no one would have had any fun at all. But while Saul and Leann and William were exploring the house tour, the rest of us tromped down to the English Garden, an idyllic walled garden that continues to be my favorite place on the grounds. The littles just ran the paths and sniffed flowers and giggled.

Seriously, where are the on-cue butterflies and bluebirds?


(As a side note, I apparently say, "Seriously" a lot, as Lillian has picked it up.)


Here's Naomi, bolting down one of the brick pathways. She couldn't quite catch Jack, but she gave him a good chase.


Lillian, enjoying the view.
