Red Butte

Our weekly visits to the garden have gone a little awry lately, but we were finally able to squeeze another one in on Wednesday night. The biggest difference was the temperature. There was still a bit of a cool evening breeze, but it didn't quite stand up to the +100° heat.

We noticed that someone had been nibbling on the fruit in the apple trees and heard something rustling in the shrubs as we walked through the children's garden. It wasn't until our second time through that we finally saw the culprit up in a tree, about 3 feet away from our heads.

 
 

A big, fat, apple-eating squirrel!

 

Myke re-taught Lucy about the fun of squirting people with the water from the snake tongue.


 

Lucy was a quick study.

 

A cold drink tasted especially good on such a hot day.

 

Penny just likes playing with the bottles.

 

After we blew out the candles on the birthday cake...

 

and said "hello" to the resident butterflies, it was time to go.
