smell the roses

SO bummed I didn't have my camera with me this afternoon to capture Kekoa smelling the roses. After throwing the worst tantrum of his life ( he was so over tired), I'm glad that our afternoon ended on a really positive note.
His favorite "motorcycle park" has a beautiful rose garden. We were playing on the playground and I asked him if he wanted to show me where the roses were. Scott had brought him here earlier in the week and told Kekoa to take mama to see the roses. Kekoa was an excellent tour guide. He first took me through the grape vines, telling me that he walked through them with baba too. Then off to the roses....so many gorgeous colors and the air just smells sweet. Kekoa grabs the huge blooms with two hands, one on each side and puts the whole thing in his nose. Then he gets the silliest smile on his face and is so excited as he says, "mmmmmm", because they smell so sweet. He also pointed out all the colors for me, reds, pinks, yellows, whites, and purples...in all different shades.
After smelling all the different roses, Kekoa found the perfect tree for him to climb. He was so proud of himself.
Next time we go to the park, definitely bringing my camera. I am crossing my fingers that I can get a picture of him smelling the blooms. It is the cutest.
