We journeyed to the Missouri Botanical Gardens again last night for a free picnic style concert put on by The Whitaker Foundation featuring Anita Rosamond. It was packed. We had a GREAT time. The kids were awesome. It’s so fun seeing them experience something for the first time.  There was a good deal of wine, cheese and people who really know how to relax and have a good time. They had wine bottle/glass caddies, plenty of food… salads, chicken, strawberries & chocolate fondant. They were skilled in bringing the ultimate pack away conveniences. Josh and I were particularly impressed by this table, and the amount of people who had one. Many children took the opportunity to exhibit their kooky dance moves.

The leaves were already starting to fall. Probably due in part to the cooler weather we have been having lately. A shorter summer reminds me of living in the North West.

It was a little humid, but we brought plenty of snacks and water. The Childrens Garden was a stones throw away and we walked over to let the kids soak themselves in the little sprinkler yard.

After the sprinklers, they got dressed and we waited to see the concert.
