Longwood Gardens 2010

We enjoyed an amazing weekend in DE and PA with Nonna and Pops recently, the highlight being a day at Longwood Gardens.
However, before we embarked upon our adventure, Pops taught Aven a little about spatial relationships ...
... and Nonna read a few new books to Rory.
Then, we were off to Longwood Gardens, where the pumpkins are larger than the children!
Ah, this is more my size!
Here they are indoors. Did we mention that Aven likes to climbs on things, just like her big sister?

One of the best things we saw during our trip was the sister bonding. Here, the girls enjoy dinner with each other.
And here, Rory allows her little sister to push her in the swing.
But the highlight had to be the children's garden at Longwood. In fact, this was the same place that Rory had so enjoyed when she was Aven's age.
Given that past experience, Rory took great pains to show Aven how best to play in the fountains.
Ah, these are fun fountains!
Here she is, two years later.

And here we are, enjoying a family dinner in our room.

Rory and Aven look forward to their next adventure with Nonna dn Pops ... London in 2011!
