A little of this, a little of that....

I *heart* Dale C...

I had a fun play date today- I went to Franklin Park Conservatory with Leslie's sister Michelle.  Michelle also loves to take pictures, so it was nice to go with someone who likes to stroll along and take a hundred pictures of plants, flowers, and beautiful glassy things.  There is a Dale Chihuly exhibit at FPC that I've been waiting to go see and while I've seen lots and lots of Chihuly pieces, they always are amazing and so beautiful.  

After FPC, we headed to German Village.  We had lunch at Katzinger's Deli and then browsed around Helen Winnemore's. Thanks for a fun day Michelle!

Picnic at Franklin Park...

Last Sunday, Jim and I went and picked up Panera and had a picnic at Franklin Park.  We love to sit out back by the water and listen to the little waterfalls and enjoy the nice weather.  It was a great day... definitely one of our favorite things to do.

Franklin Park....

Jim and I recently went to Franklin Park Conservatory and then also to walk around Franklin Park.  The Butterfly exhibit was there, but we didn't see that many.  I presume grade schoolers from their field trips had already gotten to them, because some of the ones we saw didn't look all too good with their tattered wings.  The remaining butterflies are probably all camped out in the utmost corner of the conservatory, anxiously awaiting when the exhibit ends in September.  Nonetheless, we had a good time, especially walking around outside the Conservatory, back by the streams and little ponds.   It was a good day.
