FHE at the MSU Rose Garden

Last Monday, June 4th, we packed a picnic dinner and took a bike ride to the MSU flower gardens to see the roses in bloom.  The bike ride marked Ellary's second trip on bike downtown.  The grand total round trip...about 6 miles!

 A little bright but it was the best we could do to prop it up and get a family shot!

 Ellary wanted her photo taken with nearly all the rose bushes.

 And Keegan was acting a little goofy.  We're lucky to have taken this picture with his tongue actually in his mouth and his eyes looking at the camera.  What a funny boy!

The girls collected rose pedals from off the ground.  They smelled so wonderful!

 Then we read the scriptures together and rode our bikes to the MSU Dairy Store.  The kiddos were excited to get ice cream especially Ellary if you can't tell!

 On our bike ride to the gardens, we discovered this incredable tree with outstretched limbs.  We decided to take pictures by it too when we were riding our bikes back home.  Some of the pictures turned out really nicely, while others were a little too dark.  It was already nearly 8 o'clock when we stopped at the tree.

 Two of our four little monkey's!

Kris did a good job of getting the girlies into the tree.  And then he joined them!

Keegan was too scared to sit in the tree without crying.  You can't blame him, so this picture was taken at the base of the tree.

I was a little rickety getting into the tree, a little frount heavy as you can see, so I opted to take most of the pictures! 

We had a great time...hopefully we will remember to visit the MSU Rose Garden again next year!
