botanical garden pics

We took Allie to the NYBG today to see the train show, but since they're doing timed entrances now, we got there way before we could actually get into the show.  So we took Allie to the Children's Garden, where they were doing a feature on gingerbread.

Allie thought the ginormous gingerbread house was cool.

And so was the maze.   But she got her pants REALLY dirty.

After the maze, she went for a walk in the woods with Daddy. 

It was fun!

But before we could get into the train show, she fell asleep in the backpack.  Poor baby, fell asleep with the bottle in her mouth.

I bent my head forward so you could see her - she slept like this for about an hour, so it couldn't have been that uncomfortable.

But she woke up in time to see the trains!  There were lots of historical buildings of NYC made out of things like acorns and tree bark.  Here you have the Chrystler building, the Flatiron building, and others, with the train going by in front.

The trains going over the bridges (the have to-scale replicas of the historical bridges too) were cool!  Allie had fun, which made the ridiculous wait almost worth it!
