On Tuesday of our Canadian adventure we went to Butchart Gardens. Wow...........Gorgeous...........Incredible.
Have never seen so many well groomed gardens and flowers and trees and bushes. It was beautiful. There is a large carousel available for riding....but there was a ticket charge, so GJW, Spongebob and the moose posed on a stationery pony instead.
A few minutes later Spongebob decided to disappear into a picture. Play "Eye-Spy" and see if you can find him in the picture with the old fashioned popcorn wagon.
If you don't know the significance of the moose accompanying the family and Spongebob, here's the story. When we last visited Yellowstone, CSW purchased the moose as a souvenior. He has magnets in his feet and has been hanging from the boy's metal bunkbed frame for years. Just before leaving on our trip, GJW decided to let the moose tag along as Proxy for CSW. He went more places than Spongebob. We miss our missionary. Wished he could have been with us.
Spongebob searched and searched for a four leaf clover.....but alas, it was not his lucky day.
Maybe you can find one.
Here's a picture that Spongebob took as we were leaving Butchart Gardens. You just never know who might be watching you. If you haven't heard the story about JTW and the Asians, just before our Garden adventure ended......you'll have to ask. Pretty funny.
We spent awhile visiting a butterfly garden. Saw hundreds of unique and exotic flutterbys.
It was so humid though, you could hardly breathe. JTW and GJW had an encounter with a bird that was strangely obsessed with their shoes. He just wouldn't quit pecking at them. EW let him peck at her too, (it just tickled they said), until the little feathered fiend decided to stick his long black bill up inside her pant leg. She decided he was getting just a little too "fresh".
