Leaves!

This morning we went with friends to the Bolz Conservatory at Olbrich Botanical Gardens here in town--it's got birds and tropical butterflies, but I figured that primarily AJ would be into it for the leaves.  She loves leaves.

I guess butterflies are kind of like brightly colored leaves that move even if it's not windy, so she probably liked them, too.  She definitely liked the waterfall.

(The mark on her leg is not baby leprosy.  It is a butterfly stamp indicating that she has admission to the conservatory, although since admission is free for children under 2 it seems kind of superfluous.)

They don't really allow strollers in the conservatory so it's a good thing I brought the front carrier, but I got pretty tired.  Looking forward to when she learns to walk.
