Last Saturday was a clear day with just about perfect temperature outside. David brought up going to the Myriad Botanical Gardens. When I looked it up, it just happened to be a free weekend. Sometimes those "free"things are not so great though when it comes to crowds. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't crowded at all!
There were cute displays and picture opportunites here and there.
Before we went to the gardens, we decided to explore a little bit. We went over to the Devon Energy Center. It's a skyscraper that we see everyday, way in the distance, when I drive the kids to school.
It really was beautiful inside.
There were a few food trucks outside that we enjoyed.
When we finally got into the Myriad Botanical Gardens, I was really grateful that we went on a free weekend because I'm afraid I would have been a little irritated with myself for spending that much money on something so short. Don't get me wrong, it was really beautiful inside. It really was but if you are paying for a family of six it comes to $35.00. And we probably only spent 15 minutes in there because it was so hot and humid inside.
But you can't deny the beauty in these pictures!
We did find a huge fan on the top level though that made for some silly wind selfies...and temporary relief from the heat and humidity.
When we got out, we went over to the kids play area. It was really neat in its variety.
This was one part of the area with the Devon skyscraper in the background. There were little paths here and there. Shrubberies and trees to get "lost"in. Play equipment that wasn't typical of a normal playground at all. I really liked it!
All in all, it was a really nice part of downtown Oklahoma City. People were friendly and it was good to see the older boys be boys. Sometimes those electronic devices seem to get in the way of them getting out and playing around. That definitely wasn't the case while we were out and about that Saturday.
