5/23/15 Observation (Hide and Seek at the Botanical Garden)

Little girl and slightly older boy decide to play hide and seek. Boy hides behind a tree (plenty to choose from seeing as we're at the gardens). "Ready or not, here I come," the little girl calls out. Suddenly, Guardian (mom?) appears. She calls out to the girl and the little one goes to her. And then the Guardian calls out to the tree concealing the little boy (totally blowing his cover). But she is greeted with silence and no signs of movement from behind said tree. After a little while, the Guardian begins to make her way to the tree. Suddenly, and somewhat cheekily I might add, the little boy abandons his tree in exchange for another one a bit of a ways away. As he darts behind his new found tree, I can see the smile on his face. And I can't help but laugh.
