Afternoon at Aldridge Gardens

Since I still wasn't up to getting out of the house all that much because of the surgery David and I decided instead of going on our weekly date we decided to go out with the boys. We made our way over to Alderidge Gardens. When we first lived in Birmingham, our apartment was just down the street from this Garden. It was actually someone's house and property. Years ago, the guy donated it to the City of Hoover and made it into a Garden for the public. It has been a long time ago that David and I walked around the lake together (pretty sure it was per kids). Anyways it was a really enjoyable and romantic afternoon with my hubby and two sweet little boys. They had the scarecrow contest all around the gardens, so it was fun to see what people made up. Parker enjoyed being the photographer for the afternoon. Over the years David and I have loved gardening together and looking at plants. Going around the gardens it gave us great ideas for around our house. A lot of our plants need to be split this year and hopefully we can do it soon and figure out more areas around our house for gardens. :) Parker having fun and actually liking to pose for us.

Parker took this picture of us and didn't realize how to use the zoon feature on the camera.
