Happy Birthday Dow Children's Garden!

This morning Lilly and I helped the Dow Children's Garden celebrate its' 10th Birthday! Story hour started at 10 (we arrived for about the last 30 seconds of the story), then we helped open a birthday present for the garden-a bubble table at just the right height for little hands to splash in (and occasionally blow bubbles)! We enjoyed a cookie (I, personally, was hoping for cake as I didn't eat breakfast before we went), watered flowers, swept up some dirt, cautiously stood near the surprise water fountain thingy, looked at tadpoles, spotted some wildlife (a frog, lots of "Peekas," and a chipmunk), and Lilly's favorite-played in the bubble table.
I'm guessing she is making a run for the bubble table again. We went back three times to play in the bubbles and 'Little Miss I-Have-An-Opinion' made it clear to me that she didn't want to leave them. I wasn't too embarrased by her fit as there were about a million other kids there and most were screaming much louder than Lilly. Yes, people, she throws an occasional fit. Hard to believe, I know.Sidenote: "Josh" made an appearance in our video. We don't know Josh. I told you there were about a million kids there. I guess that would make about 500,000 overprotective, pushy moms too. (Not me of course!)
