Dallas Arboretum

Dallas Arboretum 10-13-12 (24)

This weekend we went to the Dallas Arboretum. I've been wanting to go since Spring because they have a Chihuly exhibit that Mom and I wanted to see. However, the thing with living in Texas is that you have to wait until it not so hot outside. We tend to do a lot of indoor things during the summer.

This weekend was hot still, but not flaming hot.

We got there right when the gates opened and had a lovely walk. I've got tons of pictures and here's the first half.

I love how you can see the fuzz on this flower.

Here's some of Chihuly's work, surrounded by the flowers.

My mom was with us, and she took this picture of the three of us.

It's hard to see how tall this really is, but it was huge.

This little cutie was getting her picture taken in the gardens. Lots of people go there to do that, we even saw a wedding! I couldn't help but sneak a picture too.

And the last one for today - my Mom and me.

We had such a great time.  I'll post more pictures next week.
