Botanical Gardens

Last Saturday my parents were in town and we took them to the Botanical Gardens. Dan was the only one who had been there before so I was excited to go. We got there early and got to enjoy the Gardens with out too many other people around. In the first room they had an exhibit of sea life made out of plastic objects from around the house. It was really cool to see all the things they made and what they used.

 In the second room they had a water fall and Koi pond. It was nice being in a warm room and seeing all the foliage and flowers.

Koi Pond

 In the last room they had it set up like a Desert. It was weird to feel the temperature different but cool to see all the cactus and desert flowers.

On our way out

We had a great time and realized as we were leaving we found out the city was sponsoring a Winter Festival day. So we hung around as they set up and did an ice sculpture.
