Day three has come to an end and we continue to have a great response to our garden. Today, my grand kids came up and, after we visited some of the walk through gardens, we headed over to the kid’s garden area. Now, yesterday I was not totally excited about my preview but, today, I must say, I was surprised by how much the kiddos did enjoy the kid’s garden area. While there were Legos and an opportunity to make your own stop-motion photography stories, we spent most of our time in the foam area.
When the kids had their fill of foam craziness we stopped over and colored a little bit before heading over to make our portable terrariums.
The kids didn’t seem to interested in going back to play with the Legos so we actually headed over to the Usborne booth to browse their book selection. Finn entertained himself and many passersby in the kid sized shed across the isle while Emma donned her shopping diva persona to make her selections. Over all, we really did have a great time with our kids at the show. I did have to give up two stones from our garden’s rill for Finn but the kids left happy and tired so it was worth it.
Tomorrow promises to be one of the busiest days at the show but don’t let that deter you if you were thinking of coming out. Just give yourself a little more time to get through the display gardens. You may even try to get there either at opening (9am), close to closing (8pm), or during a meal time hours during which the show floor seems to slow down a bit. Also, don’t forget to swing by and see us for your little treasure from us. Just let them know that you follow us on the blog or any of our other social media outlets!
