Wednesday we went to Anderson Gardens in Rockford. It is a beautiful japanese garden. It was about a 25 minute drive for us. We were mesmerized by the beauty of the garden and the friendliness of the people there. If you get the chance you should go. I would love to go every weekend, but then I am very partial to gardens.
Anderson Gardens is a little over a mile long. We had no problem with walking that far being avid walkers LOL! But it seemed as if the tour was over in five minutes but it was actually 2 and a half hours!! The children enjoyed feeding the koi fish in the various ponds. You can buy the koi fish food for $1 at admissions. It's good sized bag too, not like those chintzy handfuls you get at petting zoos. There was enough food in the bag for the 4 girls to feed the fish in all 3 ponds and then they went back to the beginning pond to use the last of it. When we finished enjoying the garden we went into the gift shop for souveneirs. We even got the older girls something.I didn't take any pictures of the gift shop. But it was equally beautiful. There is also a resturant there, but we opted to go to burger king in Roscoe on the way to the library story hour. No pictures of that either;-)
Here are some pictures......enjoy!!!
