Few pictures st Lewis Ginter

Took the girls to Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens.    Didn't get too many pictures as mostly Genevieve played in the splash area to cool off in the childrens area of the garden.
View of fountain in the sunken garden

entrance to gardens

Flowers in front of library




Like these paintings on screen


Would love to have this heavy metal butterfly but little too expensive for me
at this time.  I have one Steve got for us that is similar and I love the way it looks against the shrubbery in the back yard

from the gift shop Adalyn wanted a stuffed snake and she got one

She picked a green one out for genevieve too


Genevieve cooling off under sprinklers in childrens garden.  Adalyn decided to walk with me to the gift shop.
