Reiman Garden

Since I've been having furloughs, I have used the opportunity to get things done around the house and just things in general that I need to get done. One furlough day, Becky was so sad to go to school that I promised her I would keep her home with me the next furlough day. I did. It was a couple weeks ago, and I can't believe I haven't blogged about it yet. Anyway, we went to Hickory Park in Ames to have lunch with a friend and then to Reiman Garden in Ames. The garden wasn't actually open, but the butterfly wing was. Becky was not as thrilled as I thought she would be. She hated the butterflies flying around and wanted to leave. She wouldn't let go of my leg. After a few minutes, though, she ventured out, and we had fun looking around at the various butterflies. As long as they didn't get too close to her, she was just fine.

Here she is posing for me in a small inside garden that they had.

Then she wanted me to take a picture of her pretending like she was asleep. She's so funny!

All in all, it was a great day. I was glad to have the opportunity to spend with my precious four year old!
