Reimen Gardens is such a fun place to explore. The kids have been here a couple of times, but neither one of them remembered it. Our first stop was the butterfly house.
They loved this and outside the butterfly house there were a few displays full of butterflys coming out of their cocoons. Porter is trying to get a butterfly to land on his finger.
Last time we were at Reimen Gardens there was a dinosaur theme going on, dinosaur replicas were scattered throughout the gardens. This year was they had the Big Bug display, which was neat b/c a state park in Okoboji had the Big Bugs a couple summers ago and the kids really enjoyed seeing them again!
In front of the Praying Mantis.
Pretending she's being attacked by a giant spider!
Giant Ant!

Lots of lily pads
Pumping water through the frogs mouths.
The corn was 13 feet tall!
After we left the gardens we drove around campus town a bit and showed the kids the various dives we used to live in! Then we headed to campus. We parked right in front of Lake La Verne, and Sir Lancelot and Elaine (the swans) are in the background.

Couldn't quite get it all in the photo!
It was a gorgeous day to be outside and we had a lot of fun spending our day in Ames. :)
Of course Stella found a huge tree to climb in!
