Botanical Gardens

We had been planning a trip to the botanical gardens for awhile. Little did we know we would have to wait in line on the street in the van to enter, only to be told we have to drive to a parking lot somewhere else to be shuttled over. We went anyway. This was the line to get on the shuttle. There were probably twice that many people behind us in line when I took this picture. The bulbs were beautiful and it was a most gorgeous day to be outside! They added many new kids features including The Jolly Roger pirate boat and Treasure Island sand play area. But the highlight, for Ollie especially, is the frog water fountain.
