Vacation Part 2

After the first two days of our vacation it was cloudy with scattered showers, so we did lots of museums. This is the first of many... it was a perfect day for this one because it was cloudy with no rain yet... It is the Brookeshire Wildlife Museum. I have no pictures of the wildlife, but there was a lot of stuffed wildlife in the museum and it was a free museum!!! That is always the best. After visiting the museum they had a great playground outside. We did not actually let Caroline play on the playground part of it (cus she would have been there all day and we had more museums to see), but she did get to climb all over this 1952 fire engine... and
this mid-1800's caboose... and

this tractor!

Another great place we went was to the Rose Garden in Tyler. They have such a beautiful garden with a big grassy area that Caroline could frolic in.... that is coming up later.

There was also a little demo garden in the rose garden... Caroline is playing hide and seek in that garden. She had a great time running around. Greg and I were HOT... we both had a baby strapped to our bellies and it was humid!
Here is the long awaited frolic in the grassy area....


A big to do in Tyler is the Rose Festival. At the Rose Garden is a museum which holds all kinds of beautiful dresses that past Rose Festival Queens have worn... Caroline wanted to play dress-up with all the dresses!

Greg wanted in on the dress up action too... check out that Vogue face...ooppsy I mean GQ face:)
Caroline with the dresses' again... there were a lot and I only took a picture of a few of them.
