Lewis Ginter Botantical Gardens

Last Thursday, Madelyn had a half day off from school so we decided to do something fun and outdoors that afternoon.  Our neighbor graciously invited us to join her at Lewis Ginter with some other friends of ours.  Since she has volunteered at the park in the past, she got us in for free and gave us a fantastic tour of the place.  The girls and I have been to Lewis Ginter a good amount over the years but Bess was able to show us parts of the Gardens that we did not even know existed.  The girls especially enjoyed all of the "secret" gardens. It was so nice having Madelyn home for the entire afternoon and spending such a nice afternoon with good friends!

The girls loved the butterfly exhibit!
