Red Butte Gardens

My Mom and I decided to go in on a Dual Membership and I plan to take full advantage of it this year. It was so beautiful that day. The wisteria was still in bloom (despite the warmer weather) but had lost most of it's scent. I made sure to take a lot of pictures so I could show everyone how much fun we had. Morgan had a chance to feed the Canadian Geese some fish food thanks thanks to the generosity of an innocent bystander. One goose in particular was a little eager and got a little to close for comfort. He must have been starving. Rather then eating the food right out of Morgan's finger he ate Morgan's finger. Well, he actually bit Morgan's thumb and I think it scared her more than anything. It didn't take long for her to get over it.


We saw lots of bright and colorful flowers and even some wildlife like ducklings and bunnies. Some of Morgan's favorites are the bronze moose (including mother cow and calf), the bronze deer, and the huge lizards in the childrens gardens, oh, and the metal bugs by the pond. Last, but not least, we spent the remainder of our time resting our feet and watching Morgan play in one of the several sandboxes they had in the Childrens Garden. It was a good time to catch-up and catch some rays. Can't wait to go again and maybe take a lunch next time.

It was so much fun to take a break from homework and spend some time at Red Butte with you guys. The flowers were blooming so much more than last time we went. Thank you for taking me with you!
