The Flower Fields

A few of the Beaston's were in town, as well as Loriann and her two children, so we decided to head over to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad and check out the spring flowers.  Here's Tatum, Ty and Cassie. 

It was really sunny, as you can see from Ty's expression, so it was hard to get any pictures with eyes open.  The kids were handed a scavenger hunt where they had to find all the stamp locations and stamp their cards.  They loved it!

Me and my babies.

The view was beautiful and the day was clear and not too cold.

Shauna and the kids.

These three got along so well, it was wonderful.

My sweet fairy and my sneaky gnome.

When they completed their scavenger hunt and got all the stamps, they could take it over to this panning area where it was only $3 to pan for jewels.  They picked a bucket of sand, poured it into this sifter...

and they had jewels!  The kids loved this and the guide gave them names for all the different stones.  Garrett, Rick and Michael finished golf about the time we finished at the flower fields, so we grabbed In n Out and headed back to Shauna's place to hang with her new puppy Sage.  I wish I'd got a picture of her, too cute!
