Flower Piano

Every year for a couple of weeks in July the San Francisco Botanical Gardens tucks 12 pianos throughout the garden. Some days there are professional, scheduled pianists, while other days the pianos are simply open for anyone to play on. Today was one of the days when the pianos were open for everyone. We enjoyed a beautiful stroll through some of the gardens, listening to music in a redwood forest, on a pier over a pond, and in a large grassy area. We heard lovely music played by very talented pianists as well as a high school student looking for a chance to perform, and a few kids tinkering on the keys. After we strolled through we set up a picnic in the large grassy area and let the musicians come to us. It was such a gorgeous day!

After a lovely day at the gardens we stopped to do a little shoe shopping for Will's upcoming conference. When we were done it was time for the little one to eat so we stopped off and Will had a beverage while Adeline ate. These two really have a special bond and I love watching it grow!

She has also mastered a new trick.
