Leu Gardens - Free fun for the whole family!

These are just a couple of the thousands of gorgeous roses in the rose garden. It was amazingly fragrant, beautiful for the eyes, the spirit and the nose. We all (all 5 of us) just sat and relaxed in the quiet of the water fountains & birds for a few moments. It was great.

Caleb hopped down b/c there was an ant.

Caleb looking awesome in the "white" garden.

Noah - the leader of the pack looking equally awesome in the white garden.

The boys together...this is the reason we even started taking pictures in this spot. Noah told me it was a great place for a picture of him and Caleb.

The most important men in my life.

Rob & the kids in the butterfly garden. This was probably the coolest part for the kids...well, the boys. Sela hates bugs, bugs of any kind and to her, butterflys are bugs to she was creeped out the whole time we were in this area.

The kids and I.

This wins as the coolest thing of the day. This butterfly just came out of it's caccoon...or whatever it's called. He was barely moving his wings, just trying to get his bearings. It was awesome...we stared at this butterfly for about 5 minutes. In my world, 5 minutes is a LONG time to stare at a butterfly but we were awestruck! All I could think of was Romans 12:2...my very favorite verse in the Bible.

On that note - I hope you guys enjoyed the new pics! :)
