WVBG Kid's Day

When the Smiths came to town for a family reunion, we happened to have some free time to visit the West Virginia Botanical Garden's Kids Day. Audrey was unfortunately asleep at home (while the guys were also napping on the couches), so Hannah and I had Caleb all to ourselves. We had an awesome time! Caleb got to paint a pumpkin, create some leaf art, make a bird feeder, and snack on some yummy treats. All for free. My favorite thing ever was the new fairy garden they set up on part of the forest trail. Here anyone who wanted to could create their own little fairy house using any natural item from the forest floor. They even provided a little table full of accessories. Hannah had the idea to make an arched roof and found a curved piece of wood to be the main structure. We then covered the roof with red oak leaves and lined the inside with red bark and pieces of moss. We added a stick driveway, some pine cone bushes, nut shell chairs, and a feather bed for the finishing touches. We loved walking around the garden and admiring all the other fairy houses. So fun! I am already looking forward to making some fairy houses for the little creatures that live on the beach when we head to the OBX this Christmas.
