Naples Botanical Garden

Here's our homeschool group at the Naples Botanical Garden. It was a beautiful, sunny morning/afternoon today and the kids wore themselves out! We either walked around or played from 11am to 3:30pm. Needless to say, Gabe took a power nap on the way home :)

My camera's battery died before we made it through the garden... I didn't get any photos of the kids playing a game of Bocci Ball or the Caribean Garden and hammocks, but you can still see that we had a great time->

This is the Butterfly house. We saw lots of native plants, Zebra Longwing butterflies (Florida's state butterfly), and Monarch butterflies. There was even a chrysalis house!

Here's Noah at the Cypress Swamp section of the Children's Garden. He and his friends ended up getting pretty wet!

Here are the kiddos holding up the waterfall :)

We took a break for a picnic lunch after a short visit to the Children's Garden...

Here's Gabe's favorite part... the treehouse! He played with his friend (who is also Gabe!) inside the treehouse after lunch.

Here's Annalee climbing the treehouse!

Here's Gabe, and he's still in the treehouse!
