Desert Botanical Gardens

It was such a gorgeous day today that we wanted to be outside. Nate, Ellie, and I (Mandy) went to Desert Botanical Gardens.

Hanging out on the “Indian trail.” The kids loved the shelters on this trail so much that we went on the trail twice.

Grinding up mesquite tree beans to make flour. The kids decided to taste it. Nate said he liked it and Ellie spit it out.

Someone found a common king snake. The kids loved looking at it, touching it, and holding it.
