We went to several parks while we were in S.B. This is the S.B. Botanical Gardens. It is very natural with lots of trees, very wild looking. The Indians used to get their water here and it became the water source for the mission. The Indians built the aqueduct that ran to the mission from this stream.
These perfectly sized and shaped holes were made from woodpeckers!!!Pretty cool, huh?
Shera is counting how many years old this tree is... Ha! Ha!
We loved seeing this field of wild clover! Do you see the four-leafed one?Neither do we...
Alameda Park is one of the oldest parks in Santa Barbara and takes up 2 city blocks. It has an 8,000 square foot wooden playground that includes a castle, swings, and slides - totally great for the kids!
Holly's friend from BYU, Pace, lives in Ventura and came up for the day to visit us. We went to the turtle pond, a place where his grandmother used to take him.
There were literally hundreds of turtles all over in this huge pond!
Ducks and fish were there too. They all lived very harmoniously together. Luke and Shera had a great time catching the turtles!
We went to Santa Barbara's famous Crushcakes for lunch and cupcakes too. This is one of Rachel Ray's favorite cupcakerys in the country!
