Brooks and I enjoyed a wonderful ‘adventure’ with the Sullivans, at the Quail Botanical Garden to kick off our holiday vacation.  We hadn’t had a chance to visit the new children’s garden so we picked a warm December night to enjoy some fun and to see Santa.  This was the Sullivans first visit to the Gardens and they LOVED it just as much as we did.  If you haven’t been there, be sure to check it out!

The new children’s garden has so many fun things for kids!  These three loved the giant treehouse, the watering garden, the instrument area and so much more.  When it got dark, there were marshmallows to roast and a visit with Santa.  Brooks and Phoebe even enjoyed a turn on the dance floor.  :)

Thanks for such a fun night out!

someone needs to give Brooks some gardening lessons

BOO!!!

it was starting to get dark so I upped my ISO to 4000-6400 … I love this camera!

I brought my external flash along just in case … it worked perfectly to capture the rest of the night!
