The Greater Outdoors

The Overland Park Arboretum will have their ribbon cutting for a new garden this Wednesday.  It is probably Daddy's most favorite kind of garden.  That's right, a Train Garden!  We thought we'd come out and take a sneak peak before it opened.  Grandma and Grandpa Wendel joined us for the walk.

Of course, Cassandra wanted to take the long way around and check up on everything.  We just had to stop and see the fish.

Along the way through the water garden, we saw this waterfall.

On to the main event, the Train Garden.  Cassandra loved it.  They were still putting final touches on it but Cassandra was very excited.  The train was especially wonderful because it had sound effects.

Of course, we were so busy taking pictures of fish and trains and butterflies we didn't really get a lot of good pictures of Cassandra.  This one of her smiling (with her mouth full) is all we have.  Still, you can tell she really enjoyed it.
