Last Tuesday, we went to Selby Gardens in Sarasota. They are known for their orchid collection (which we didn't even see) and their various other plants. It is a beautiful location just south of the bridge to Longboat Key, overlooking the bay and the bridge. They have a program called "Little Sprouts" that does fun, educational things for kids every other Tuesday. This week, they had about 8 different Christmas crafts set out for the kids and a surprise visit from Santa! Which, as you can see, did not go over so well for my kids. This is the closest either one has ever gotten and I think that is as good as it is going to get.
It is hard to tell in this picture, but if you look at Jackson's feet, he is actually flailing his arms and legs.
Santa did have pencils, which I think is the only reason Tyler even went that close. But as you can see, he grabbed the pencil and ran.
Tyler loves to make things and play with glue and scissors. So he had an absolute blast.
They had some very large, very hungry koi fish. Tyler loved feeding them- I think we could have sat there for hours.
Look closely at the orange fish in the center of the picture below. Yes, he is airborne going after the food. He jumped up and landed with a huge splash! The kids thought it was the greatest thing and kept trying to make him do it again.
