a day in the gardens

We enjoyed a wonderful day at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens with Aunt Ceci (also our talented photographer). The girls also enjoyed a day here with Grandma Rena. We couldn't have asked for better weather: clear, sunny skies and only 83 degrees. I couldve posted 100+ pics everything was so beautiful!
