Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, part 2





We finally made it back to the Ft. Worth Botanic Gardens.  Everything was in full bloom and beautiful.  We didn't get very good pictures, it was almost lunch time and pretty warm- but it was fun exploring this great place again. 

P.S.  Thanks for the dress Aunt Kirstin- it is perfect for a day out at the park!

Fort Worth Botanic Garden

We had fun exploring the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens on Tuesday.  We were most fond of the Japanese Gardens with a huge koi lake and waterfalls.  Hannah was very fond of feeding those fish!  While it was a bit chilly and a little too early for lots of flowers, this visit makes us long for more adventures in the late spring.





In other news, we were supposed to go to the Ft. Worth Zoo today. But the zoo traffic was so bad that the city shut down the exit!!! Apparently half price day during Spring Break is the wrong time to go to the zoo. Hopefully Hannah and I will get to go with Burke and Piper Jane when they come to visit next week.

And just so that I can rant a little without crying or yelling again: I really really really dislike government agencies!!!!!!!  We have to get Hannah a new ss card because we don't have one- and even if we did it would have the wrong name on it.  Well, I thought I had taken care if it after 2 visits to the ss office in January.  I called today to see why it was taking so long to get it.  The answer:  they don't have the information on file AND my printed reciept has the wrong name.  So I will have to drive 30 minutes to Grand Prairie, sit in the waiting area for who knows how long, and finally (FINALLY!!!) get everything corrected.  And the thing is, I know I did everything right the first time.  Sorry for all the ranting and apologies to anyone working for the government.
