The Missouri Botanical Gardens

From the St. Louis Edition

April showers bring April flowers! Spring is in the air!  

Saturday, we visited the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

There were many gorgeous colors...

There were elegant blossoms...

Unique textures...

Odd names...

The mouse plant.

Beautiful landscapes...

Artsy walkways... 

Lizards...

and Waterfalls.

There was also "mommy time"...

And "daddy time"...

There were great places for pictures...

And great places for crawling...

There was the timer way of taking a family picture...

And there were friendly people to take it for us!

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

It's been something Lizzy's wanted to do forever...so for her birthday (a few months late), Steven

go and they really enjoyed it!

"Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the

 Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember 

his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the 

judgments of his mouth." 1 Chron. 16:10-12

Blessings to you!
