April 9, 2015: Part 6 of Jared and Jenny's visit to Albuquerque--ABQ Biopark Botanic Garden

April 9th: In the morning, we met Jess and the boys at the Botanic Garden, where the kids enjoyed walking through the gardens on the many sandy trails and running in the grassy field with Grandpa. The gardens are truly beautiful and full of color, especially in the spring!

Mario and Milo Hobbs

Poor little Milo was feverish and not feeling well, but no one knew until much later

Thank goodness for Milo's daddy, Jared

Beau loved carrying this soccer ball around

The monstrous ant sculptures are always a favorite place to rest and to play

This ant hill tunnel slide was a hit for all the boys (and Grandma)
