Mother's Day recap



Here is a photo of Abby, Denise, and Gina at the Botanical Gardens in Cleveland. We decided to go visit there since the weather was not very nice for an outdoor hike as we had originally planned. We are so glad that we ventured down there. They have a huge green house with a Costa Rica Cloud forest habitat which contained hundreds of butterflies and assorted colorful birds.



The butterflies were feasting on the nectar from the flowers that were blooming and it was amazing to be so close and observe them floating about.

We started the day with the girls making chocolate chip pancakes for Denise. Abby presented Denise with a poem and Gina, a collage of Adirondack photos. Both were a huge hit with Denise.

Off we went to the Botanical gardens for a great visit. We will return on a sunny day to enjoy the outdoor gardens this summer.

I prepared dinner and chocolate casserole for desert. (do you sense a chocolate theme??) It was a very good day and Denise had her wish of staying out of the kitchen for a day.
