The Conservatory

Last Saturday, my family and I headed to The Franklin Park Conservatory. Very cool place!
Here I am with my sisters in one of an artist's installation pieces... he builds these huge installations with sticks.
This is in the lobby.
The Conservatory has lots of beautiful plants and a few animals, too.


Chrissy and my mom in the "desert" area.
Bonsai!!
Isaac got stripped down to his onesie in the "rainforest" area. It was HOT! He was enthralled by this waterfall. LOL
Probably the coolest part of the day was checking out the butterflies.


They release a bunch of them everyday and we happened to be there at the right time.

Isaac found the butterflies very interesting!
"Wait, where did it go?"

At lunch, he had fun with his butterfly puppet... Grandma A tickled his toes with it.
This is the hilarious way he decided to relax while we ate. Hee, hee!
The Convservatory has these installations from a glass artist named Chihuly as well.
I though this picture turned out really well. These were really pretty... glass blown flowers.

Look how BIG they really are!
