Every spring I get antsy for blossoms, but since our climate is a little bit cooler than down in Ogden, we have to wait till mid-May or so to see the trees around us bursting into bloom. So we usually take a little field trip to the Botanical Gardens and the temple grounds in mid-April to get our fix. This year we ventured out on Thursday, April 21st (so not a Friday Field Trip, but close enough ;). We brought lunch and had a picnic and made an afternoon out of it. It was marvelous!

| Lunchtime at the Botanical Gardens. |
 |
| Tulips |
 |
| Daffs |
 |
| No idea what these are but they're fuzzy and cool! |
 |
| Popcorn tree! |
 |
| Oh-so-close buds on the crabapples. |
 |
| I always love the forsythia bushes. |
 |
| This raggedy edged tulip was cool. |
 |
| And this tulip has more petals than normal. |
 |
| We love the magnolia tree at the temple. |
 |
| And their tulips weren't quite at peak yet, but close enough. |
 |
| Little purple pansies flecked with yellow gold. |
 |
| I love buds as much as I love blossoms! |
Welcome, Spring! We're SO glad you're here!
