Birthday at Botanic Gardens June 26th

I had a wonderful birthday this year.  Ken, Joe, and Vince took me to the Botanic Gardens for the day. In all these years, I had never been there.  What a beautiful place ~ I can't believe I've never been there!  Thanks guys for spending the day with me!

Here's some pics:

Vince didn't know he was getting the dragonfly, too!

 

 

see the bee.....good shot, Vince!

We had a great day.  So much more to see for another time.  Can't wait to return and see more.  We had a delicious dinner at Stoney River with Calvin and Rebekah joining us.  I had the best horseradish encrusted grouper, ever!  Thanks for a wonderful birthday, guys! I love you!
