Summer Fun at Red Butte Garden
Here are James and May examining a plant together at Red Butte Garden. The kids and I spent a couple of days exploring the garden this summer, and each time I was so glad we had gone.
Any of you who have spent extensive time with May this summer know that she is into pretty dresses, singing, and flowers. She couldn't be happier with spending her day wandering around and looking at the wide variety of plants and flowers at the garden.
She tried to show James how truly magnificent the flowers were. James thought they were pretty, but he was more excited about exploring the side paths and finding the water play area.
So May ended up glorying in the beauty of nature on her own. If I couldn't provide a name for the flower, she named it herself. There were large white blossoms that she dubbed "Grandma Flowers," small, button-shaped white blooms that she named "Grandpa Flowers," and flowers with a black center and red petals that she called, "Red Bee Flowers."
Here she is in all her glamorous-ness. Too bad her knees and hands are all muddy from kneeling down to see the flowers better.
Fortunately there is a water area in the children's garden for rinsing off and relaxing.
And some giant lizards for posing and cheesing.
Here is James looking for fish in the koi pond with his friend Isabelle.
Here is May pointing at some stepping stones, which she attempted to use to cross the pond and ended up rather wet and sad. Mostly she was upset because she thought the koi were going to eat her.
And here are the children running away across the meadow. Come back!
