Lucky for us Pittsburgh has free days once a year for a whole bunch of their attractions. So me, the kids, and my friend Liz and her kids decided to check out Phipps Conservatory. It's this awesome green house palace with botanical gardens and glass sculptures that I have been wanting to check out but haven't felt rich enough. We drive past it all the time because it is right across from Steve's campus and on the way to church.
Tif, Kylee, and Cody in front of Phipps. Isn't this a gorgeous building?
I have been so good lately at remembering my camera when I go places, except for this time. Luckily Liz came through. She took a picture of anything we asked her to. Cody asked her to take his picture in front of his favorite flower.
Cody and his friend Sarah loved the butterflies. You follow the path through these beautiful gardens in this wing of the building and the butterflies are everywhere. They fly right by you and the kids thought it was so fun! Cody was seriously squealing because he was so excited for this part.

Outside there is a children's discovery area where the kids can water the plants...
...and water
and water! They didn't want to leave!
The next few pictures are of some of the cool glass sculptures we saw. It's a beautiful place. You should come check it out sometime! :)
