finally short sleeves again
The large indoor greenhouses include a show plant room where the spring flowers are already in bloom. It was nice for Kara to walk with Jude and see something besides grey skies and semi-melted patches of snow. She thought Jude would enjoy the flowers or give them an 'oh wow', but they were more interesting for mom.

Jude did show interest in the conservatory's two interesting sculptures. And he was hushed into silence in the palm room, where giant palm trees and plants towered overhead.
a beautiful place to snack
Unfortunately the visit turned tramatic for Baby Jude. He loved walking into the palm room. The long fronds handing down were tickly, wet and fun to pull. Kara took him to the waterfall in the back of this photo below.
the dreaded palm room!
Poor Jude thought the waterfall looked very fun to walk into. He couldn't understand why mom kept saying 'no step', 'no water'. Kara tried to distract him by pointing out dozens of colorful fish in the large koi pond nearby. That backfired bigtime.
Jude tried 5 or 6 times to walk right into the pond. Each time Kara would pull him back. It ended with poor Jude in tears, not understanding why mom would deny him something that looks so fun.
Despite the turmoil kara counts the visit a success. It ended with Jude crashed in the car on the way home.

I better run, I think Jude has found the Scrabble box. I can only imagine where the tiles will end up. Thank for reading!
