Discovery Gardens

I've known for a long time that the Discovery Gardens at Thanksgiving Point existed, but I had no idea how INCREDIBLE they are. My friend Mary invited us to go with her and her boys, and we gladly accepted the offer to go explore with friends. I had no idea there were so many things to explore, discover, and play with in there. Not to mention it's just a beautiful setting.

We started with a little stop at the splash area. I somehow missed the 'memo' that this was a swimming type setting, so the boys were pleasantly white trash in shorts and diaper only.


After splashing around for a bit, we wandered down to the "Float a Boat". K had loads of fun trying to climb into the pool, and Noah was running up and down the hill over and over to send his boats on down the river.


Next to the boats was a giant sand box, and what kid can resist that?!

Noah eventually decided it would be more fun to go build a 'fire' with the other kids, so he headed over to that area.

After spending 3 hours, we were all tired, and hot, so we headed back to the entrance to play in some more water for a bit.

We had so much fun on Friday that we went back again on Saturday to discover the rest of the gardens! Both boys loved the Pebble People. Noah had lots of fun finding them and putting them back in the box, and K was just happy that there were rocks he could play with.


And Noah gave us a nice little concert to finish off the day.
