Our Trip to the Botanical Garden

My Uncle Jerrold visited us over Memorial Day and one day while he was here, we visited the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks in Fayetteville. We hadn't been since last Summer, and although it got a little hot about half way through, we all enjoyed it & got some great pictures.

Botanical Garden of the Ozarks with Family

A few weeks ago, we had family visit us from 2 different states! My Cousin, Troy, from Colorado and my Great Aunt & Uncle from Kansas, Delmar & Deanna. We went sight-seeing and visited downtown Bentonville, the U of A Campus, and then the Botanical Gardens.

I love this picture! My Grandma (known to Mason as "Gigi") showing him a sunflower. My family is from Kansas and sunflowers always remind me of my Grandma, so I'm glad I snapped this shot!
Another Kansas girl...

A sweet hug

A turtle ride (the Children's Garden was our fave!)

Yet another fave!
This was a huge sculpture, that from above was a butterfly~her wings were the flowers & bushes.
It was great to get to spend time with out-of-state family and get to experience our local amenities!
