Albuquerque Botanical Gardens

After the aquarium, Jared and I took Noah over to the botanical gardens next door.  It was the perfect size for someone Noah's age, not too long!  The children's section of the garden was amazing, to say the least.  They made you feel like you were shrunk down to earthworm size for a good section of the place, where you would go through areas as though you were really that small.  It was great.  One of the sections had a giant pumpkin you walked through, complete with seeds hanging!  Noah really liked it there. They also had a butterfly house, but we missed it opening by a week.  At the pond, Noah spotted the largest frog I've ever seen.  Of course, Noah made ME touch it.  What a kid!
