Fort Worth Botanical Gardens/ Butterfly Garden

We went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens on Tuesday of this week. Daddy(Jason) took the day off and we all went together. We had lunch at Rail Head(really good BBQ) before and had Olive Garden for dinner after. The gang spent the day at the gardens and saw all sorts of really beautiful things. Jason took over 700 pictures while we were there. Here are just a few taken that day.

Feeding more koi. We made several stops in the Japanese Gardens so that Henry could feed the fish.
