Yesterday, Lillie and I visited the National Arboretum. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers, trees, and landscape. Lillie loved the fish, flowers, and running. Here are some pictures from our field trip.

Sorry so bright...the backlight on the camera was on and I didn't notice until we left this area. Pretty flowers and cool sunglasses.

Next, was the Koi pond. Lillie loved looking at the fish, but she loved running around with the 3 kids that were there. Views of the fishes are in the video at the bottom.

"MOM! Can I just run?!?"We found a little circular section of the herb garden. Lillie favored the gravel filled path. Here are some pics as she made her way around the pathway.

As you can see, Lillie collected a few rocks on the way.

More pebbles for the collection

Ok, I have to admit...beautiful scenery, perfect day - how could I resist making Lillie pose for pictures. Professional photographer I am not (although secretly I wish I were!!), but the subject was patient and photogenic!

"I'm DONE!"

"The hills are alive..."

Sweet and carefree!

Right before we left, I noticed tucked away in the corner...Lily of the Valley

Again, how could I resist - Lillie in a grove of Lilies of the Valley.
Say cheese!

Over here, Lillie. Look at the camera.

Smile at the camera, Sweet Pea!

There's my big girl!
