Grandpa Kurtz Visits!

We were so lucky to have Grandpa Kurtz come visit us! We picked him up from the airport around dinner time. We typed "Italian restaurants" into the GPS... and we were on our way to the nearest Italian restaurant. It is always a little bit scary when you've never been somewhere to eat before and in a city that you've never been to. We lucked out, as it was quite yummy!
The next day, we took Grandpa to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. It was amazing! There was soo much to see.

There were tons of plants with pretty colorful flowers.



More bright and colorful flowers!

...beautiful trees (including this horned tree... we saw one of these in Costa Rica)

HUGE leaves!

This pond had turtles in it. The turtles liked me best cuz I gave them (DJ's) snacks!
There was also a rose garden and many waterfalls... it was truly amazing!
The last part that we saw of the Botanical Gardens was the Japanese garden... and HOLY MOLY that place is beautiful!! Peaceful! I want to live in there!

We fed the fishies and duckies!
We were there for a few hours... and DJ held up like a champ! Here are a few shots of him... eating his fingers since I gave all his snacks to the turtles...

...and trying to escape from his stroller! :)
