Franklin Park Conservatory

I just realized that I never blogged about Richard's birthday...oops.  His birthday was on Sunday so we tried to celebrate a little bit Saturday night.  Richard told me he was up for anything because whatever we do here is fun because it's new.  Well I really took that to heart and we ended up going to the Franklin Park Conservatory.  We weren't 100% sure what was there, but it got really good reviews online so we decided to check it out.  Honestly, it was really boring except for the butterfly room, while had the best butterfly place I've ever been to.  Kaylee had so much fun watching, chasing, and running from the butterflies.   


They also had enormous Koi in the pond and she watched them probably longer than she stared at any of the butterflies!  Because of that room, it ended up being a lot of fun and we were glad we went. 
Outside they had a bunch of fruits and vegetables made out of blown-glass. They were pretty cool and were in all different colors. Kaylee's favorite? The purple pumpkins of course! (Purple is her favorite color)
The rest of our celebrations were very low-key and we didn't do a whole lot more than eat all of Richard's favorite foods.  The good part about having his birthday on Sunday was he got two full days of special meals made just for him :)
