The Flower Fields

On Friday, December and I went to the Flower Fields with Naomi, Noah, and Noah's Grandma & Great-Grandma (who are visiting from England)



Here are the kids with Noah's Grandmas


The Flower Fields are located only a few minutes away from the ocean, and you can see the ocean as you walk along the rows of flowers.


They had a couple of cages with lots of different birds inside, and the chicken was BY FAR December's most favorite attraction. As soon as she saw it, she burst into song, "E-I-E-I-Oooo...had a farm...chicken...E-I-E-I-O!"



There were fields upon fields of these beautiful flowers (but I can't remember their name)



They had a Sweet-Pea Maze, where you wove among rows of tall Sweet-Peas all aranged into a maze. It was great fun, and it was the nicest-smelling maze I've ever been in!

We let the kids lead the way through the maze. That was rather entertaining! It took us a while and we went to more than one dead-end, but they eventually found the way out!



Outside of the maze, looking down on it. You can see one lady's head peeking over the flowers, just to give you an idea of how tall the sweet-peas were!





The fields were absolutely stunning.

They also had a greenhouse filled with all different types and colors of pointsettias


Something at the top of the greenhouse is fascinating December...I think it was a plane flying overhead that she was trying (in vain) to get a glimpse of




After the kids got tired of being strapped into their strollers, we let them out to play in the playground there.

The fake telescope was December's favorite part of the playground...

Those flowers are absolutely stunning, Kristin! Wouldn't it be great to work there everyday...with flowers and the ocean. Who could ask for a better job ;o)?? So glad you could enjoy a touch of God's beautiful creation!

Those flowers are beautiful! I think the picture of December with her face in the window of the play house is adorable!
