Brookside Gardens

For those who recall, we went to Brookside Gardens last year- but we were so totrured by beltway traffic getting there and then it was so freezing cold that we spent a lot of time inside and missed part of their light display. Brookside Gardens is a public garden in MD and in the winter they have a giant light display and a big indoor model train display. It's pretty cool to walk through and see all the lights (we have to go to zoo lights at the zoo sometime, maybe we'll try tomorrow before we head out of town Mon). We met up with Eitan, Jerome, Emmitt, Tomer, Jim, Aliza and Haya. The kids had so muh fun running around together! It was so incredibly warm, I think it was over 60 degrees when we arrived. Anyway, we stayed late, got home late and the kids didn't go to sleep until 10pm or something just as insane but we had a great time!

"Spring" sunflowers all around

a giraffe! (can you believe there's no giraffe at the National Zoo anymore?)
Alex was excited about the "chocolate train" and the cool ice-skating rink.

Everytime the frog ribbits, its throat turns red. The kdis thought this was HILARIOUS





a catepillar light tunnel you walk through


the main walk is set up to show the seasons, as you walk you pass under a rainbow, it rains, there's even lightning
