So for Chris' birthday we went to the Dallas Arboretum - Althea's first museum visit, whoohoo! It was wicked hot - holy guacamole - up near 90 degrees. Lucky for us the Arboretum has lots of beautiful shade trees and we were able to stay fairly cool. We had lunch at the Tea Room on the grounds of the Arboretum, just lovely - beautiful flowers and a nice breeze to accompany our iced teas.
Enjoy these photos from the day...
Coy-pond-pondering...
Matt and Althea in the flower covered playhouse.
How Alice in Wonderland is this playhouse? There are crystals hanging in those little elf shoe like corner brackets, and the flowers are growing along the side of the building in some sphagnum moss - a drip irrigation and misting system keeps it watered.
Rose gave me seeds for this flower a few years ago - I was able to grow them but not like this...these flowers were between five and seven feet tall, easily.
Awhhh...Althea hanging out in the baby sling - she loves it in there. All the docents were peering into the sling to sneak a peek at the new baby...

It always tickled me to see what Mainers think of as "wicked hot." Growing up in Oklahoma, anything under 90 degrees was considered "sweater weather."
