When we were thinking about how to celebrate Ollie’s second birthday, we knew we needed to include certain elements. He loves to go bye in the car. He loves to be outside. He loves trees, rocks, animals, and water. He revels in nature, like many little kids. But he seems to take it to another level. He’s happiest in the giant, colorful out-and-about.
Hudson Gardens sprang to mind. It’s smaller and not as grand at the Denver Botanic Gardens, but it’s still lush and lovely with a charm of it’s own. Ollie loved our afternoon out in the brilliantly beautiful setting. We took the entire gang, which is something we don’t do very much any more. Everyone has separate interests and activities. Coming together for the littlest of the little brothers was important.
I think from now on, though, we will be calling it Huts and Gardens because one of our older kids thought, for years, that’s what it is called.
The day was so perfect, I am considering transferring my June birthday to early October. Everywhere, a feast:
Happy Happy Birthday to Ollie!! What a perfect way to celebrate!:)
Lovely! Happy Birthday to your darling. He’s adorable.
