Botanic Garden













We took the kids to the Botanic Garden for a walk.
It has been a long time since we last visited the pair of loving swans. We brought some bread along, intending to feed the fish and turtles. Nicole was put in charge of food distribution. She gave 1 tiny piece to Ethan, while trying to gesture to him how to throw it into the pond. Before she could stop him, the bread was speedily desposited into his own mouth instead! He figured it would be a wiser choice to feed himself rather than the turtles! We all had a good laugh at him :)

Nicole was diligently feeding the fish and turtles but the lake creatures just turned their heads away. There was already an abundance of bread floating on the surface, a sign of overfeeding by the public. She soon lost interest in feeding them. Instead, she started helping herself to the bread too!

Nicole was tired out by the late morning sun soon after. While we were in the car heading home, Nicole asked for a second helping of bread.

Nic " Mom, may I have another piece of bread? "
Me " Sure, here you go"
Nic " I think I am more hungry than the fish"

We all just laughed at her innocent but completely factual statement!

nicole's politeness is mood dependant....when in a bad mood, she can really "kill" with her words!...we are in the same boat :(
