Spring is in the Air!

Yesterday was officially the first day of spring! I'm so happy for spring. The warmer weather, the beautiful flowers, and the renewed feeling I always get this time of year.
Here are some photos I took at a recent visit to the Botanical Gardens.
The picture of the tulip just peeking out is my favorite!







I tried to get a nice picture of Jordan sitting in the tree. Silly girl!





She thought it was funny to pester her cousin, Blake, while his mom was trying to get a picture. Look at that grin!



Jordan and Blake had fun running around. Jordan was trying to catch the bird.



"Where'd the birdy go?"



I really enjoyed the new bonsai garden they had there. The first one was my favorite. I love the moon pot it's growing in.











Have a wonderful spring and happy Easter!

Rachel your photos look soooo professional, I love the way you frame them. The one of Jordan holding her hands up, "where's the bird" is so cute. I love spring flowers too! I hopw to enjoy some more Southern Spring when I come to visit on April 1st, no fooling!
I remember the Botanical Gardens from one of my previous visits. It's a beautiful spot.
It's great that Jordan has a cousin so close to her age that she can play with!
Luv Ya, Mom Ricks

I love the fact that you have your sister so close to do these kinds of things. I have to drive 4 hours to be with my sister.

Great pictures! I can't wait to go again (on a FREE day!) when it's a little bit warmer!

I love the pictures! I think Grayson and Jordan look a lot a like! So, I haven't been able to read your blog for a million years because I accidentally typed in the wrong address so every time I clicked on it, it would send me to a weird thing. So I figured out the problem (Thanks to Barry) and now I will definitely be commenting on your page! Sorry about that! And thank you for all of your comments!
