Day 3... we spent at the Dallas Arboretum! They had a "Dallas Blooms" festival going on - all kinds of tulips and spring flowers everywhere. We really loved the giant peacocks made from flowers - purple flowers!
Next, we found giant "people-sized" bird houses made of many different materials, and based on children's books.
We wandered around - from one end of the arboretum to the other... finding water, flowers, paths, and anything else that caught our eyes.
After lunch at the "Two Sisters Cafe"...
...we enjoyed an afternoon in the Children's Garden and sunshine!

| Playing Games & Checking out the Garden Map |
We tried out another life sized maze, and found the sword in the stone!
It directed us to the Fairy Garden - can you see it over our shoulder?
Then we learned about how caves, rocks, weather and the earth were formed!

| Using the Sundial - it was 2:30 -- can you tell? |
 |
| "The sun's a hot, hot star. Mercury's hot too! Venus is the brightest one, Earth's home to me and you... Mars is the reddest one..." |
On the way home, we stopped for ice cream - yummy!!
Then, it was time for Spring Break nails - Mommy promised we could have our nails done before we left Minnesota, and Ms. Kristen told us her favorite place to go! We ended up with lots of patterns - some purple, some Irish... all cute!

Then... Mommy and Ms. Kristen made some fancy margaritas to have by the pool. What else do you do on a warm Texas night?
