I won! I have officially beaten my children! And it took me a mere 2 days.. Today, on the drive home 2 of the 4 fell asleep.

We got up early for a free day at the Desert Botanical Gardens. They have a free day once a month & the timing was great. I don’t know if the kids loved it, but it was pretty and a nice walk. And they did love the butterflies! There was a special exhibit that had over a thousand butterflies. All of us ended up having one land on us. They have volunteers that “dust” the butterflies off of the visitors as they leave.

After the gardens we had a quick game break (video games for them, a jog for me). Then lunch and chores before we headed out to one of our fab public pools. So glad our neighbor invited us to join them. The pool is heated and it was just perfect.

But, it was a little much for the girl.. She ended up laying on the side while I chatted with my friend most of the time.

Hope a quick nap will perk them up for more fun tomorrow 😉
