For the last couple days, while Mia and Zander have been swimming, the rest of us have been going to the botanical gardens in Christchurch. At the botanical gardens, we go to the playground and play while mommy and daddy walk around.The botanical gardens are really big and lots of people go there during the day. At the park, there are three dinosaur sculptures that Kayley and I named Dina, Dini, and Dino. There is also a cafe where people get food and coffee. When we went there the first time with Mia and Zander, because they don't swim on weekends, we got our grants and bought food and drinks. I didn't get anything, except a little bit of momma's chai latte and two chocolate balls. After that we played at the park and walked around. There are also two fountains. One is colorful with carvings of fish, sea grass, and birds; and the other one is just copper metal with a lady walking toward a metal fountain of pouring water.
There is also a river going through the gardens where people kayak and lots of ducks swim and dive in. I think it's pretty.
Near the entrance, there are big trees and one of then has branches that make a house thing so people go inside and climb the tree. I climbed it a couple times.
I think the botanical gardens are nice, pretty, and calm.

Sarah--your posts are GREAT!! I learn so much about the things that you're doing and since we can't see you and talk, I'm very curious about your lives. Now I know all about the botanical gardens and I'm very impressed by all the wonderful public places you describe. New Zealand seems to pay a lot of attention to helping make their cities nice. With earthquakes, that can be pretty difficult, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBe well and keep up the great posts. We love them! much love, bippy
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteYour description of the Botanical Gardens includes lots of details! I can almost visualize it. I'd love to kayak in a river through the garden! It sounds like the Kiwis put a lot of thought into designing it. What a nice way to spend your days!
