Who doesn't want to see flowers in the middle of winter?

Today we had our first real taste of spring! It was AMAZING! We went to the Conservatory in como zoo and it was a slice of HEAVEN. They have a rain forest area that is warm and humid and smells like you are in one (imagine that)! August LOVED looking around at the birds and all the green plants, it was so much fun to watch his reaction. They also have the "sunken garden" which is filled with the most beautiful flowers. Again, August loved it! It smelled incredible and the colors really were stunning. We just sat in there for a long time. It was so peaceful, it's amazing how much grace you can feel in Gods creation. If we had pillows I'm pretty sure we would have napped there. If you are in the Minneapolis area and are about to be pushed over the edge from the cold weather, go check it out.

Here are some pictures, I couldn't really get many of A because he was too busy taking in the sights!
