Holiday Magic

I took Owen to Holiday Magic at the US Botanical Gardens. It was supposed to be a mom son date but honestly after him just not listening to me and then an altercation it started off just bad. As a parent you must learn to get over it, because kids do so quickly. I was having trouble with this because I felt he was not appreciating the trip I took to take him up to see this special train display. OKAY, enough....After a couple bad moments we had a good time. Owen loved watching the trains and looking at all the scenes. The really amazing thing is that everything (minus the trains) is made of all plant-based materials. There are some very impressive houses. Then we went through some of the indoor gardens, Owen loved this part too. He kept saying how we were going on a walk through the forest. The place was impressive!!!
