{Easter at Callaway Gardens}

Callaway Gardens is one of my mom's favorite places to go in the spring in Georgia and I would have to agree with her. It is absolutely breath taking. The weather was perfect. The company was perfect. The flowers were perfect. The only bummer about our trip was we wanted to rent a bike trailer there to ride bikes around the gardens and there were none available. I was VERY sad about this but got over it. 

 Ryker said his favorite was going to the butterfly house. He was having so much fun with daddy looking at all of the different kinds of butterflies. They really liked the ones that looked like owls. I was also SUPER excited when we went into the gift shop, Brady noticed they had my favorite artist Kelly Rae. I have only seen her work at a boutique in Utah. So I was thrilled that Brady bought me a new painting! He is the BEST ever! 
 Well since we were planning on riding bikes all day we didn't have a stroller with us and this is where Gray got to spend the entire day. He was not super thrilled about this. Ryker did VERY well walking everywhere even though he didn't want to. 
 Ryker loved that the egg hunt was on the beach. He picked up a hand full of sand for about every egg he got. This little guy sure loves to dig in the sand. 


 We had so much fun walking around and taking a million photos in the beautiful azalea garden. I love how full and colorful it was. 

We even got a family picture. YAY!!
 I just love this little man's smile. 





 These three boys light up my day everyday! They all make me so happy and in love! 


The flowers in the horticulture center were so vibrant. Brady and I loved how they had designed their flower beds. It was so beautiful and full of color. 
 Ryker loved all of the bunny bushes. He had to have his picture taken with all of them. He was so excited to find all of the bunnies that he was running to each of them instead of begging to be held. It was great! 



 We just love tulips! How can they not make you smile.
 Brady and I were fascinated that lilies grow sideways instead of straight up like most flowers. I have only seen them in flower arrangement's not growing in the ground. 
I love that Brady and Ryker enjoy going and looking at flowers with me. This was such a fun relaxing adventure with my family.
