It was a great day today!
My mom, Reagan and I went up to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens to check out Big Spring!
The minute you walked in the building you were just smacked with the most wonderful Spring smells. The ticketing lobby was filled with little carts with Tulips everywhere. When you walked into the main lobby, there were larger than life flowers and gardening tools. Some flowers had little butterflies on them and there were real hydrangeas everywhere. There were even flower print umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. It was gorgeous!
When you walked down the hall, they had a kids area where there was a maze made from hedges, a fish pond, a little stage and a tea party hut. Reagan loved the maze and got right through! The little stage was also a hit! They had fairy, butterfly, bee and parrot wings that the kids could try on and put on a show! She loved being the Monarch Butterfly. There was no one around, so she had the whole place to herself, it was great! After her "show" we went to the Mad Hatter Hut and she made us "tea."
Next, we headed outside to the Hershey Children's Garden. They had streamers everywhere in the trees. It was so pretty to see all the colors flowing in the breeze. We walked all around, but her favorite was the big goldfish pond, she even saw a frog swimming around!
When we were done at the gardens, we headed over to Legacy Village for lunch at Brio and a quick stop at Janie and Jack. The new giraffe line is to die for, and since Reagan LOVES giraffe's, we couldn't pass it up!
We got our treasures and headed home. We got back around 3:00 and I had just enough time to put stuff away and get all spruced up for a date with Jimmy.
Jim's mom was nice enough to come over to spend the evening with Reagan, so we could set off to Cleveland for the CAVS game! Yep, two trips to Cleveland in one day...LOL! The Cavs were playing the Heat so we knew it would be an interesting game. We ended up having dinner at Bar Symon before the game, YUM! It was fan appreciation night and they were doing a lot of fun giveaways. We didn't win anything, of course...LOL! The CAVS were actually winning for most of the game. They got a little behind in the fourth quarter but brought it back with a few minutes left. They were down by one with 13 seconds left. Kyrie got the ball and just stood on the arc dribbling! He finally went to make a move with 2 seconds left and lost the ball. The Heat grabbed it and it was game over! BOO! That's how it always ends in Cleveland, no matter who you are watching.
This CAVS season was fun because Jim and I made it to the home opener and the last home game!
The photo of the day is Reagan at Big Spring....
The bonus photo is the scoreboard at the end of the game, with a inserted picture of Lebron on the sidelines in his suit. Yes, they still won while Lebron sat on the bench. :(
Unfortunately, our great day was clouded by the unthinkable tragedy in Boston. The Boston Marathon was going on, and as runners were crossing the finish line, two bombs blew up in the crowd. 3 people died including an 8-year-old boy. 183 people were injured with many losing limbs. What a unbelievable tragedy. I'm not sure what this world is coming to, it's so sad.
Our hearts go out to all the victims. ♥
