We had a wonderful day at the Huntington Botanical Gardens on Thursday, with Carol, Aaron and Danny. And it was free day, which is a great deal, considering the $15 admission rate. It is truly a photographers dream. There were beautiful succulent and cactus gardens, lily ponds, bamboo forests and a Japanese garden, and so much more to see. It would not be an exaggeration to say it was almost as big as Disneyland.
For some reason Elliot was scared to go near the bamboo trees. So we thought we would play a trick on him to get him near them. We told him The Mommy Tyrannosaurus Rex was on the phone telling me her baby was going to come and take Elliot's lollipop, if he didn't go with Danny to hide in the bamboo forest. Well, it totally backfired. He burst into tears, scared to death that there were dinosaurs in the bamboo trees. The only dinosaur in the bamboo was Danny. When you ask Elliot about the gardens, the main point he wil tell you about is the "scary dinosaurs in the baboon forest."
More pictures to come tomorrow. There were so many good ones!
