Arboretum in Autumn

Ben, Dex, and I took a Sunday afternoon trip to the arboretum. We did the hedge maze and collected colorful leaves that Dex put in his monkey backpack.

 I made a heart in the pebbles - Dex immediately jumped into the center with a huge smile on his sweet face.

 Walking (over stepping stones) to the beat of his own drummer.

Dex loved the kaleidoscope that created amazing reflective images of the potted plants.

Dexy's climbing skills have improved (slightly). At least this time, Ben didn't have to go and physically help him - we just had to encourage him with words to climb back down a ladder.

Dex took his time but he persisted!
