A Break from the Ordinary

Normally Wednesday is playgroup day, but most of our "group" was busy, so it was just me and Nina and she has a season pass to Fairchild Tropical Gardens and could get a guest in free - the kids were free.

There were two art exhibits - a pop art exhibit (which was interesting, but I didn't take any pictures) and a glass art exhibit, by a guy named Chihuly, which I found much more beautiful. Here are Caleb and Millie examining a Chihuly piece called "End of the Day" - it's made of leftover pieces of glass, hence the name.







Ah, it's easy to take beautiful pictures when you're in a beautiful place! You can click on any of these pictures to see them bigger.










And of course, since it was a garden...

I think orchids are so pretty...



There was also a butterfly garden, we didn't find many butterflies, but these cute butterfly chairs sure were fun. :)
