Legos at the Botanical Gardens.

The Huntsville Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places ever.  They work very hard to make it incredibly beautiful and interactive!  Every year they have a different feature during the summer.  Last year was Alice in Wonderland, and this year it was Lego Sculptures!  Patrick hasn't been able to go to the gardens many times, but we wanted to make sure he saw the Legos before they take them down next weekend.

Making sure my crazy guy doesn't fall in.

We saw what we think is a red tailed hawk
eating a squirrel or rabbit.

Mama bison and her baby.  Connor liked the bird.

Fox stalking a rabbit.

Beautiful butterfly.

Posing as a mini fig.

It was a really hot day.  We were all dripping sweat, so we only saw most of the different sculptures.  There were two that were not quite on the path and I had seen several times, so we skipped those.

The gardens has a small restaurant inside that is a separate business called Clementine's that has awesome food.  Sadly, they are leaving to open a bigger restaurant elsewhere.  I can't wait to see if I like the new restaurant moving in!
