After the aquarium we headed next door to the Camden Children’s Garden.  It had a lot of great interactive, hands-on activities for kids (not so much for Adam, though he does try to get his hands on anything he can).   We still had a good time and it was nice to walk around and check things out.

We were welcomed into the garden by this guy.

You know who he is right?  Give it a little thought, ponder it weak and weary if needed.

Anyone, anyone?

It’s Edgar Allan Poe-tato Head of course.

The next stop on our Storybook Garden tour was Alice in Wonderland.  The little dude was a bit cranky here, having an “off with their heads” moment if you will.

He cheered up a little when we went to the Jack and the Beanstalk Garden.  We tried having him sit alone in the chair here as well, however…

There were tons of leaves in the seat,

Which Adam believed he needed to eat,

Perhaps he thought the foliage sweet?

Or sustenance to combat the heat?

But his parents saw (he’s less than discreet)

And told him leaves were not a treat.

It’s probably a good thing I picked a math/science intensive major.

I’ll just stick to pictures and brief commentary from now on.

They also had areas dedicated to The Three Little Pigs, The Frog Prince, and The Secret Garden (which is one of my all-time favorite books).

They had other themes as well.  The Dinosaur Garden was probably my favorite – most likely because we were able to take these pictures of Adam.

Be careful, that Adamosaurus is a carnivore for sure.  He eats everything we give him and tries to eat anything he can find, to include my earrings, a paperclip, cardboard…

On second thought, I’m pretty sure Adamosaurus is a goativore.
