Botanical Garden in Huntsville

We stopped at the Botanical Gardens on our way home. They had beautiful flowers, that were already blooming, and displays of BIG BUGS such as this ladybug. The kids enjoyed the flowers, but they couldn't wait to find all ten of the big bugs. This is one of the GIANT ants on display. There were two more in this field. The kids were excited that they could stand up under the ant. Kirsten knows how to pose for pictures
Taking time out of the bug search for a picture on this neat bridge.
The kids thought that this Assassin Bug was neat, although they thought it was a spider at first.
This truly beautiful tulip was one of many gorgeous flowers that we saw. I thought the colors were magnificent.
EWWW! See the giant spider on the spider web. The kids tried to pretend they were the prey of the spider trapped on its web.
This giant chair was a lot of fun for the kids to sit in. It is located in the Children's Garden section. They had a storybook section; a rainbow flower bed; and a flower maze. It was a truly unique place to visit. I am glad we took the time to visit before we left.
