Our Annual Field Trip

One of the model trains

We took our annual trip along with my parents and my sister and her family to a Horticultural Conservatory the first weekend in March. Each year the “Domes” have a model train show running through their show dome made up with small towns and ponds throughout.  It is very well done and the boys picked up information on how to make our yard into a model train garden.  We have been going since George was 2 1/2 so it has become a bit nostalgic now.  The children also did enjoy going through the arid climate dome and also the tropical climate where they were “so hot!” George tried taking a few pictures of his own so he can draw pictures of his favorite plants at home.
