Longwood Gardens

One of Grandma Debbie's wishes was to make a family trip to Longwood Gardens. It is always very beautiful there at Christmastime.

Here is Ally and Mommy - you can see how big the indoor space is behind them - that is just one room of many.


Grandma Debbie was very excited to show Ally the Childrens' Garden, which has a lot of really cool fountains to watch and touch. Ally was a bit overwhelmed by some of the more active fountains but here she had a blast with Poppy playing in a relatively calm pool.

Mama and Aunt Beth showed Ally the cool little geyser fountains...

These fountains were really cool- Julie caught them shooting right over Beth and Poppy's heads - they shoot out a quick blast of water across the cool tile mural.

This was Mama's FAVORITE thing at the display this year. This giant long pool with several fountains is completely covered with beautiful floating cranberries - apparently there are about 500,000 cranberries....

And we got a great picture of Poppy and Grandma Debbie together in front of a pretty tree outside!
