Father's Day at Powell Gardens

For Father's Day today, we took Jason out to breakfast and then to Powell Gardens, our local botanical garden.  They are having a dinosaur exhibit this year and the boys LOVE dinosaurs.


We spent a couple hours walking around, searching for the dinosaurs and enjoying the beautiful flowers and plants.


I love Clematis!



In the Island Garden, they have planters filled with water and water plants.  A couple of these planters had tadpoles in them!  We thought that was super cool!

It was a lot of fun searching for the dinosaurs. One of them had us stumped for quite a while!


Each set of dinosaurs had a display board that gave facts about the dinosaur.  They also had QR codes that you can scan with your code scanner on your smartphone which opens up a YouTube video showing more pictures and giving more information about the dinosaur.  VERY cool!  My boys were a little young for all of it.  We tried reading the display boards to them, but they were more interested in the bugs crawling on the ground!  Haha!

I would highly recommend Powell Gardens for your next family outing!

We all enjoyed our Father's Day!  I hope you all did, too!
