Gardens

We missed going to see the butterflies last year because we let our membership to the Gardens lapse.  But after Maia started asking, I decided we should reup and go see some butterflies!
We found this little area we'd never seen before. It was a large room filled with wood cutouts of trees and all the garden's sculptures, which you could rearrange to your liking.  They also had a model of the tram, which Parker could hardly wait for other kids to let go of so he could get his hands on it!

We checked out the arid garden, and despite many warnings NOT to touch the pokey plants, Maia managed to get her fingers on one which looked soft, but had fine little barbed hairs which stuck in the skin and were difficult to get out and VERY irritating.  We learned an important lesson!

Throwing in our pennies to make a wish!

We had a great time, Parker was very excited and we look forward to going back to the Children's Garden when the weather is nice!
