Scary Swans and bustin' a move

The boys and I went to Hidden Lake Gardens yesterday morning. We had a good time, walking and looking at the exhibits (they have a new bonsai tree exhibit!). The trouble started when the swans got a little too close and frightened Ash. We were all spooked, having never seen swans that close before, so we made a run for it. They chased us. I managed a few pictures between laughing and trying to jog the stroller uphill away from them.
The other problem was the skeeters- they were SO BAD. The air around the ponds was thick with the little bloodsuckers. We ran from them, too, but with less success. Blake was the only one of us to escape unscathed.

Today the pool is closed, so the boys are busy being cooped-up maniacs. Here is Ash dancing- he loves Rihanna!
