an outing

One afternoon last week I decided to head out with all 3 girls and go to the Botanic Gardens.

Again.

Because when 5 people live in 900 square feet, you learn that activities outside the home are very important. Extremely important. Sanity saving kind of important.

That morning I asked Jason if I could take his camera. After what seemed like a lecture that lasted an hour, he finally agreed.

Lines Jason might have said in his lecture...

• "Are you prepared to buy me another camera if you break this one?"
  
• "Always put the camera back into the plastic Ziploc bag when you are done before you put it back in the diaper bag."
• "Always know where your lens cap is."

I have to insert something here. When we were at the Farmer's Market last week, Jason started to put his lens cap back on his camera. Guess what he couldn't find? His lens cap. It was laying by the side of the road. I, of course, had to remind him of his lecture earlier in the week.

Because I wouldn't be a good wife if I didn't bring up his hypocrisy, right? Just kidding.

So I took the following pictures. I'm sure Jason would want you to know that. So you wouldn't confuse my handiwork for his.

We grabbed some lunch and brought it to the Garden with us. There were 2 ducks that were determined to eat the girls' lunches.

All 3 girls! Doesn't Lila look thrilled?
