Dallas Botanical Garden-Fairy Tale Castles

On CNN one day I saw that one of the best 10 places to see spring flowers in US was the Dallas Blooms, so I clicked on their site and saw that they had a Fairy Tale Castle Exhibit. Talked to Jessamy and Mom and worked it out to go while the guys were fishing over spring break. Then told Lydia who was SUPER excited. We drove up to Dallas and spent the night at J&J's. Then the day finally came, and it was a lot colder than we expected and Lydia wasn't feeling good (she often isn't happy/doesn't feel good in the morning and then is fine by the afternoon). Good thing we had three strollers. The flowers were beautiful and the castles fun. We saw them all and were planning on eating there but everything was outside and Lydia kept saying she was cold so we headed out even though Gloria and I could have spent a lot more time there.

On the Little Mermaid's throne and walking into her castle.

Jessamy, Jonathan and beautiful flowers.
Outside Beauty & the Beast's castle
Rapunzel, the tower even had hair.
Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, an African Cinderella, this one was inside bamboo.
My mom was there too but she took all the good photos. We also saw a lake, statues of animals, fountains and goldfish (Gloria could have stayed there a while too)
