Taking Time to Smell the Roses

On Sunday afternoon we joined a few of our friends at the Rose Garden for a delightful picnic. The sky was overcast but it wasn't too chilly and we had a good time eating, chatting, and exploring the gardens.


David hauls some of our gear (and Oliver) down to the picnic site.



Sandwich construction begins.




Mmmm...smells delish!



David packs Oliver around.



A view of the gardens.



One of my favorite roses.



Me and the girls.



Oliver is exhausted after exploring the grounds.




We actually didn't have enough time to see all the roses because we had to get home to bake brownies for our Life Group meeting. We definitely need to get back while everything is still in bloom!
