tea garden

on cloudy days I like to take ava to the japanese tea garden. she bounces up and down and squeals when she sees the koi fish in the ponds, and likes to walk along holding on to the miniature bamboo fences. unfortunately, the miniature bamboo fence construction is not baby-grade and every once in awhile she knocks one the cross beams out of the posts entirely. although only once has this actually ended in her falling over, she howls from the fright every time.
