Botanical Gardens

I didn't have President's Day completely off, but I did work a half day, which left the afternoon free for a trip to Denver's Botanical Gardens. I went with my moms group friend, Amy, and her daughter, Hanna, who's just 3 1/2 mo younger than Ashleigh. Hanna also just had her first birthday party a week ago, complete with cupcakes, games, and feeding their two horses. Someday, they'll be old enough to ride them - crazy!

Here are some pictures from the indoor gardens that Amy took. We walked around outside, but most of the plants were dormant, which doesn't make for pretty backgrounds like these do. They keep the temperature really hot and humid inside for the rainforest plants and flowers.




Also, you can't tell from this last picture, but Ashleigh has been having brief temper tantrums (already...) and she had just sat down in the mud along the path prior to this picture being taken because she didn't want to hold my hand.
