UF Butterfly Garden

On the Sunday after the Jacksonville Quilt Show, my parents took us to the UF Butterly Garden in Gainseville, FL. We met my cousin Jennie and her son Evan there. We had an great time exploring the gardens. The flowers were beautiful. The paths meandered around and over a nice little stream with several little waterfalls. And then there were the THOUSANDS of butterflies flying everywhere. We all had lots of fun until it closed at 5 pm. Then we went to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner. YUM!

Here are the 4 of us. It is impossible to get a good picture of all 4 at the same time! I know my mom has been trying for 29 years!

Makenzie...the budding photographer. Jennie hasn't had a child drop and break her camera yet, so she let Makenzie use her camera to take pictures.

Hailey with the best seat in the house...Grandpa's Shoulders!

Grams and Hailey. Hailey didn't get much of a nap, so she was a little grumpy.

The butterflies LOVED Hailey...but she wouldn't hold still when they landed. And of course, the refused to land on Makenzie.

Hailey checking out the flowers. She studies everything.

And the littlest one...Isaiah. He is doing WONDERFULLY! Butterflies landed on his head a couple of times. He loved watching them flying all around. And of course...he loved the cuddle time with Grams.
