The girls and I headed to Ames this morning to walk around Reiman Gardens. It has been 4 yrs since we have been up there. Haydn didn't remember going 4 years ago.

Last we walked through the butterfly wing. It was really cool to see all the different butterflies in there. One landed on Hannah's hand but I didn't get my camera out quick enough!
I thought this plant with hot pink spiky things were cool!
another butterfly
After Reiman Gardens we ate lunch at Great Plains. It was fun to take the girls somewhere where I would go from time to time with my sisters and parents even. We then drove around campus. I was able to show them the dorms both Kayren and Anna Leigh lived in, 1 apt of AL's and Kayren's off campus apt. Stanton was closed so I wasn't able to drive by the "Barn" or Kayren's house. We finished the trip by stopping at Orange Leaf in Ames. It was a fun day with the girls.
