Our experience: We’ve gone to the waterfall dyeing at Lake Katherine the past two years. We have a great time. There are paths nearby and a large field of grass (perfect for running). Cooper loved seeing the water turn green.
How fun! Your kiddos are adorable! New follower from the mingle with us hop, stop on by when you get the chance 🙂

This looks great!
Sarah,
How are the crowds usually? We were considering going at the noon hour, but wanted to make sure Charlie could actually see it.
thanks!
Samantha
Samantha,
It does get crowded, but we go a little early to get a good spot. I don't think they'll be any problem with Charlie seeing it though; there's lots of space and it's so bright you could probably see it from the parking lot! 🙂
