A rainy day at the Botanic Garden

We've had some lovely summer weather here but we've also had a lot of rain. Last week we met up at the Botanic Garden with home educating friends on a rainy day and stayed dry in the glasshouses.

We watched the fish in the Tropical House,



did drawings in the Cactus House,


Tyrannosaurus Rex cactus


Pterodactyl cactus


Kentrosaurus cactus (turns into a Euoplocephalus cactus when it's angry)


Spinosaurus monster cactus (says "come back food" when it's hungry)


Baby dinosaur cacti

and in the Alpine House.


Dinosaur mountain

When the rain finally stopped we went for a walk around the garden,



and did more drawing outside.


The fountain monster

If you have a post about a summer day out, or any post with a summer theme, we'd love you to link up at our All Year Round Blog Carnival: Summer, which is open for new links until 31st August.
