Here in Denver, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) work with organizations to help promote learning and culture. These organizations offer days when admission is free. Last week, Denver Botanic Gardens was having their last free day until after the main season so we decided to go and take Stanley.
To me, the gardens are so fun to just walk around to enjoy and appreciate plants, trees, and flowers. Something is always in bloom. The day was quite warm except for the wind but we still enjoyed it.

| Stanley, look at this pretty flower while Ellie cheeses the camera. |

Do you know how hard it is to try to take a picture of an 18 month old smiling while looking at the camera when there are so many things going on around them?
 |
| Ellie loves smelling the flowers. |
Not only did we stop and smell most of the flowers but we spent some good time trying to tell Ellie that the squirrel could walk in the gardens, with the flowers, but that she couldn't.

| Look. A squirrel. Come here squirrel. I'm nice. |
Because it is spring, there were only spring flowers out. Boy they were pretty. Sadly men just don't understand (and mostly because women can't explain it) why flowers make women happy, even if they aren't for us. We still like looking at them.

Daffodils and tulips about the only flowers out in full bloom. The irises and some roses were still prepping to come out. There were still a bunch of them. The tulips came in many colors, some with smooth edges and some with frayed edges. I thought it was a great way to get into the "Springtime" spirit.
