Arboretum

 This year we got a family pass to the Arboretum and it has been worth every penny it cost.  We have been quite a few times and take friends with us when we go.  My kids love running around and having picnics.  The new display at the Arboretum this summer and fall is the Chihuly hand blown glass.  Nicole and I decided we needed to go see it and have a picnic.  Well the day we went it started raining as we pulled into the parking lot.  So we had a picnic in the car.  After about 15 minutes it quit and we decided to just go for as long as the rain would hold off.

This Chihuly display is amazing!  These pictures do not do it justice.  It is so worth a trip there to check it out.  I can't believe that all this is outside in the gardens but I guess that is what insurance is for.  It is there until November and so I foresee another picnic on a pretty day very soon.
