Last night Poppy busted out her infamous refrain, “What do now, Granny?!” Well, Granny was armed with a premeditated quick response because the very next day we were going to an arboretum–that very next day was today. I told Poppy that at the arboretum we should expect lots of fun and exciting things like butterflies, bumble bees, and mermaids. I mean we couldn’t just tell her we were going to look at a bunch of trees, could we?

Although we didn’t encounter any mermaids, we did stumble upon giant lily pads, Poppy-sized play houses, strange unnamed fruit, Scripture graffiti, reflecting pool, prohibition of any one with diarrhea, frog-spitting fountains, avenue of trees, semi-transparent water windows, and wonderful photo opportunities.
