west of eden

so yesterday isaac, ryder and annie were introduced to a fabulous little feature here in san diego, the quail botanical kids garden. although annie and i got married at quail 4.5 years ago, we never knew this part existed. it has everything a boy could ask for, including no restrictions on what he can do there. isaac has played for 2 hours a day there the past two days, then has crashed out for a 3-4 hour nap. it is like a dream come true for all of us.

the trains run when you push the yellow button. isaac has learned to make the who-who sound.

lots of water to splash around in, including nets and plastic bugs, and of course, friends cam and hayden.

isaac and rhett are a little damp

it's kinda like fish in a barrell only more colorful.

mommy and isaac potted a couple plants...

and isaac watered them.

daddy and isaac at the bubbles. we kept having to beat down the catholic school kids so he could get a turn.

beware the bronze tortoise
