Saturday at the Missouri Botanical Gardens

Hammin' it up right from the start

...to pollinate all the flowers. Each flower had bells where the stamen would be to show where the butterflies pollinate the flowers.

We had absolutely gorgeous, could-not-be-more-perfect weather on Saturday. We fortunately had a pre-planned trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens and really enjoyed our time there. We even had Lily's swimsuit on in case they decided to open up the water area. They didn't this time, but it will only be a few short weeks until they do! Ingrid & Ryan were kind enough to watch Lily after going to the Gardens so Carl and I could enjoy an adult lunch together too. Since Carl was on-call that day, all of this was "stolen" time. He didn't get paged until 15 minutes after we finished a very leisurely lunch. And, he only had to go in for a couple hours - perfect!

Wow - those Botanical Gardens look absolutely amazing! All the different things they have there for kids! She sure is sweet - you may have a little dancer/actor on your hands! :)

Seriously...this place does look FAB! We'll have to put that on our list of things to do for our visit this summer!
