Pics from Vacation....day 1

SO FUN!!!!

Soooo, first stop Botanical Gardens. They have a bunch of sculptures there right now....so lots of pictures of them...

The weather was perfect we got there right when they opened and we left right before it started to rain.

This blue thing is a close up of a huge glass "pendant?" that they have in the lobby. I LOVE glass art!
Nick....just following my orders...."stick your head through and make a funny face."
I love these water lilly flowers....especially this one...
Nick took this picture of me from across the way...It looks like I am floating on the water.
Did I tell you I LOVE glass art!

I thought this flower was fun....it was in the "rain forest" building. (Or whatever that building was called - maybe....my hair is getting really big and it only took me an hour to straighten it building)
I looked over at Nick and he was standing there like that....two words...KODAK MOMENT!
Nick LOVES waterfalls....I have 20 pictures of WATERFALLS on my camera now. Good screen saver shots!
I really LOVE glass art!
My beast.

I have a bunch of pictures of me/others sitting in this same cat at a different park. I was so happy to see it there.
Next stop....Budweiser Tour! We did the Fancy tour that you had to pay for and it was SO WORTH the money! Here are some of the clydesdales.
How cute!? Right?
By far...THE BEST part of the day. Barley....how cute! I about wet my pants when I saw the little guy walking around....BEST PART OF THE ENTIRE DAY. Who needs beer when you have cute dogs lovin' up on you!

Finally...we went to sky zone....think....a basketball court full of trampolines....Thank God we only did 30 mins! Do you see how sweaty we are?! Also...tasting beer....and then jumping on a trampoline.....we both got bad headaches after 30 seconds of jumping. (Yes, we are lightweights.)
I will be back tomorrow with more pictures!
