On the way to Toad Corners
I found a picnic table in the large open Pecan Grove area of the Arboretum to sit and read for a bit. A family went by, on the way through the Crape Myrtle Allee to the popular water feature called Toad Corners.
Kids love to play in the water at Toad Corners
Kids love to play in the fountain. Some folks like to make it a destination on hot summer days – sort of an artistic water park.
This means you!
The signage next to Toad Corners sure doesn’t make it look appetising, though.
The family came back from the fountain after about an hour and ate a picnic lunch at a table near mine. They all looked healthy enough.

Nice sign.
You can’t argue with it… but it sure looks out of place in such a bucolic spot.
I’d imagine they have to drag the kids out of there at the end of the day. If I was a little one, I’d never want to leave. What a great place to play!
They are building a multi-millon dollar addition to the Arboretuem – a Children’s Garden full of activities for kids – but I can’t imagine it being any more fun on a hot summer day that those four frogs spitting water.
