This year for Bootanica it rained almost the whole week before the event, so the activities were moved inside. It was also supposed to keep raining all that day too. Elena and I decided to go but we left Dominic behind for some Grandma/Grandpa time. She dressed as a ballerina and I was glad we got to use her dance costume again! We started out with some face painting! Elena has never done this and was pumped! She really wanted a butterfly design but they were only doing stamping because of the number of kids that were in line. She still loved it!
She decorated a treat bag, listened to a spooky story, played a few games...
She also had fun with this silly spider! These pictures crack me up!
It was so crowded and noisy inside that Elena really just wanted to get outside and go see the flowers. So we ventured out -- the rain held off the whole time we were outside! Yay!
There were more fun activities outside too - a fortune teller...
The musical maze...
Planting seeds...
And as always her favorite thing - the fairy houses! She loves them!
Then we ventured through the gardens some more.
We made a stop at the butterfly house and she wanted so badly for one to land on her.
Surprisingly a kid with a butterfly on his hand let this butterfly walk on to Elena's hand! I think it was the highlight of her day - she was so excited!!
Then she got to touch another animal...gross! :)
Finally she made a fun little crown before we headed home for a nap.
It was a fun Mommy and me day to spend with my girl!
