On this eventful Saturday, we took the kids to Newfields!
They had their exhibit (Summer Wonderland: Spectacular Animals) running!
First we stopped at the fountain to watch the beautiful cascading water on this warm, sunny day.
Never one to let an opportunity to foster child wonderment pass her by, aunt Ashley quickly pulled out the coins so that we could all make wishes.
We strolled the property looking for colorful animals.
There was a steady stream of snails, meerkats, frogs, alligators, birds, and many other animals to keep you entertained as you easily jumped from one area to the next.
Ashley showed Victor the fountain in the Formal Gardens where his parents were wed.
Then it was time for some silliness under the Giant Red Elephant!
Victor bravely took on the Alligator to save us!
Ashley walked Victor along all the "brother" wolves to the "king".
Victor gave them these names and enjoyed the aspect of play in this normally long patch of grass.
We had lunch in the Cafe - a beautiful setting of windows illuminated our Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad (Marble heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, cucumber ring,
arugula pine nut pesto, balsamic glaze, micro basil) and Garden Cauliflower Flatbread (Gluten free cauliflower crust, roasted cauliflower, artichokes,
roasted red peppers, arugula pine nut pesto cream sauce).
We had a perfect lunch and then headed on our way!
It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon with the kids!
They loved the animals and we loved the exercise, great food and gorgeous grounds!
Perfect twin day!
