Books In Bloom

Tyler and I had the best morning today while Tommy worked and Carson napped. We started off my going to an event sponsored by the UT Gardens called Books In Bloom. The event is held in the UT Gardens and starts with about 20 minutes of getting books read about a particular subject. Today was "earth worms". After learning all about worms, the kids got to take part in making a worm compost. Tyler especially loved this part where he got to squeeze out the moist rice paper and add the worms to the bin. The morning ended with all the kids playing in the sprinklers. After the event, Tyler and I went to pick up G-Ma for lunch and ate at Soho Asian Bistro. Tyler has officially decided he loves won ton soup and sweet and sour chicken!
