Butterfly Garden

On Saturday, the kids and I met a friend and her son in Ames.  Al was working on a paper, so we decided to go visit the butterfly garden at Reiman Gardens after lunch.  See how excited Becky was to go in?
 Well...just like the year previous, she was terrified.  She started screaming and clinging to my leg and crying as the butterflies were flying around.  I did not have time to get one picture and had to usher her out the door as quick as possible.  I felt really bad for the poor girl.  I wanted to pick her up, but with Colby attached, there was just no way.  Here she is posing by the dead butterflies after she calmed down.  Much more her speed.
 Then we visited the conservatory, after I assured her there was nothing but plants and flowers in there. 
 Here she is showing off some dance moves.
 Finally....extreme happiness.  She got to spend a little bit of her money to get a toy at the gift shop.
 Becky and Colby cuddling at the end of the day.
