We took Eli to the Missouri Botanical Garden (Shaw's Garden) to see the train exhibit this week. As you can see, he was in awe!
Every year, the Garden puts together a train show with a different theme each year. This year's theme celebrates the 150 year anniversary of the garden.
Mom and I came in 2006 for the "Gateway to the West" show. But, this year featured the Garden itself.
These are the "houses" in the garden---the Caretaker's cottage, Henry Shaw's Townhouse and his Country House.
The details included the statue of Henry Shaw,
the Palm House. . .
And the Climatron.
There's nothing like a little bit of whimsey
Several people said watching Eli was worth the price of admission.
Of course, this was all done with beautiful floral displays.
But, we had to leave---we had errands to run and we wanted to visit Eli's sister!
As you can see leaving was not a popular idea with Eli, but I told him maybe his dad could take him again sometime. :-)
