Huntington Gardens

Huntington Gardens had a free day once a month and you have to apply online the month before to get the tickets. I was lucky enough to get several tickets so Mary came up with her boys and Clayton's dad came down and we all had a great time.



I can't remember which plant that is the Mary is pointing at but Travis is pointing at the coco bean plant.
This was a bog in a glass case so you could see the different layers. Please don't ever let me step into one of those. Man that is disgusting.
This room was the tropical jungle where they had mist going constantly

If you can zoom in and read about this plant it is completely fascinating. Just make sure if you ever come across it you don't drink out of it. It doesn't catch rain water, that's for sure.






These little pots had water that would spurt out of the fishes mouths or holes in the ground and plop into the water. Anna was completely fascinated for the longest time.

Then Tyler showed her you can splash the water for even more fun.

There was a big water thing in front of us but the picture didn't catch it.
The kids area is really fun and super interactive. This was the mist area where they could just run and run. So fun!
