Botanical Garden Time Has Arrived!

It is officially spring in Albuquerque.  Robins are out, it's warm enough to splash around in the kiddie pool, and we made our first trip to the botanical gardens (aka my favorite place in Albuquerque) this morning.  There were some very territorial turkeys and mafia geese, but a great adventure nonetheless.

I mean...how could it not be great?

These geese weren't afraid of anything.


We got to the garden at 9 when there was still cloud cover and it was a little chilly, so it was nice to be able to warm up inside the humid conservatory (this is the only place in the state of New Mexico where you can find humidity...).

Pretty flowers.

The cactus wing.

Mafia geese.

Stand off with the turkeys.  The turkeys won.  And Asher was terrified of them.  And called them chickens.  And anytime he heard a bird the rest of our time there he went running to Ben screaming "CHICKENS!" and wanted to be picked up and hugged.  Pretty cute.  And sad.


Went down the whole row saying "seat!" trying to find the perfect Asher seat.

 My boys.





Resting.



Trains!
