It's been a while since Marina and I have visited the botanic gardens, so we decided it was time to go back. A new art exhibit opened last month, "The Art of the Horse" which we wanted to see as well. We invited Ainsley to join us today.When we first arrived we went straight to the children's garden. The girls enjoyed looking at the flowers (especially the many colors of columbines - the state flower). Ainsley identified many of the animal tracks left in the sidewalks. They have fun running across the bridge and wearing bird wings. The wading stream was really crowded, so hey only spent a short time there. Once we explored the whole children's garden, we stopped to have lunch.
After lunch, we checked out the tropical greenhouse. At that point, both girls got their cell phones out and took pictures of their favorite plants. We met a little girl in the greenhouse who loved hanging around with them as well.
Next we viewed some of the horse sculptures. We went through the Japanese, Chinese, rose and sculpture gardens. And the girls browsed the gift store before we headed out. By then they were pretty tired.
