I went to the Harvest Festival at Fairchild Gardens today with Carlissa & her daughter and Mumble!
First, I went rock climbing:
Then, it started raining, so we went to the conservatory and saw lots of pretty plants and orchids. When it stopped raining, we went to the Fruit Pavillion - here I am sitting on a bench in front of the Fruit Pavillion:
Then I got to sit on a giant mushroom:
After seeing the Fruit Pavilion, we went to the Sunken Garden. It was very pretty and had a waterfall and a pond with some lilies and fish in it. After that, we walked around some, and I met this really nice lady named Margory Stoneman Douglas (she wrote a book on the Everglades). I helped Carlissa release a Bookcrossing book, Margory said she would make sure a nice person picked it up:
Then we went to look at the decorations that were at the harvest festival - we saw lots of ghosts, witches, pumpkins, and a pirate ship!
I was getting hungry, so we went to eat lunch. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe and I ordered the cattledrive sandwich and a soda.
After lunch, we went to a Halloween decoration-making demonstration. A lady showed us some of the decorations that she made from palm fronds, coconuts, and other plant materials. Here are some ghosts that she made from palm boots:
We were all tired after all the walking around the gardens, so we went home to rest.
