Busy days, but this week whenver I walk outside into my front garden, I am astonished by the beatuy of my irises! And I just cannot help myself.

I recommend for the grandchildren! Museums can be rough for the littles, but this museum is really great for the grands. There's lots of hands on activites, lots of fun things to see that make sense to tiny ones, lots of color and sound, and a large play area in the middle of the museum! It doesn't get better than that!
