Today we were scheduled to go to the pumpkin patch with our school, but a the last minute we decided to skip out and make it Cousin Day! Yes, it's our own little made-up holiday. The kids were happy to make the drive to Hot Springs to see Noah, Eli, and Ellie Kate. We ate lunch, played, then went to Garvan Gardens and walked around, and around, and around! We got lost and I'll admit, I was seriously about to have a panic attack. Yes, we had a map, but they were pretty much useless when you got off the beaten path. Word of advice: if you got to Garvan Gardens, do not, I repeat, DO NOT get off the paved walkway because you will feel like you are wondering in the wilderness for 40 years! It was a lot of fun, and was actually much more educational than the pumpkin patch would have been :)

They were buddies today!
Pretty Peacocks
They had a really cool train exhibit and of course all of the boys loved it!

I think this was the only picture I got of the pretty flowers. We spent so much time being lost in the wilderness that we didn't get to see nearly all of the gardens!
I wish he didn't have his hat covering his eyes!
BOYS!

All of the cousins.
Over all I would say that Cousin Day was a success!
