Can it be true? Such beauty in the midst of a city?!









This past Monday was a free day at the Denver Botanic Gardens. We went after Emma's nap so Desi could go with us. It's been maybe 9 months or so since we've been there and it seems no matter what time of year the gardens are glorious. We love the children's garden. Notice the "tent" tree that Hope is peeking out of. There are 2 butterfly chairs in there on a nice little wooden deck...how cool would that be to have in your backyard? The gardens are divided like many around the world, Japanese, rose garden, ect... The great thing about Denver's gardens are all the little "secret" side paths that the kids get to explore, while the parents and stroller can stay on the cement paths. I'd love to visit all the botanic gardens that I can in my lifetime. I've been to the Buchart Gardens in Victoria, Canada twice (thanks to my folks and Desi) and the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virgina (thanks Dori!). God is such an amazing artist and I am blessed to see His handiwork!

Rose,

Keep an eye on Desi. It looks like he's been teaching Hope the sleeper hold (see the picture of the kids on the bench).

Concerned,
Brad

Hope knows how to handle the men in her life!
