Cole and I took a recent Monday morning and had an adventure at the University of Minnesota's Landscape Arboretum. We had not been there in probably two years and I forgot what an amazing place it is. The gardens and flowers and fountains, the stones, and sculptures and shady trees, oh my...acres and acres of lush plants and blooms! I absolutely love flowers and actually prefer seeing them in yards than in vases.
Anyway, I was oohhing and ahhhing my way down the various paths while Cole was checking out every possible water feature and finding rocks and steps to jump off of. I was attempting to snap pictures of him amongst the beautiful backdrop and doing close up shots of some of my favorites.
Cole turns to me after about an hour and poses the question "mommy, you love flowers, they make you happy?" I said, "yes buddy, mommy loves all these flowers, they make me happy just like you do!". He nods as if my confirmation of his thought was expected. He turns to me and goes "well, I love dumptrucks, they make me happy" and then proceeds to make the sounds of a dumptruck backing up (beep, beep, beep) as he backs himself up the stony walk. I just had to laugh out loud and agree!
