Olbrich Gardens

 Olbrich Gardens!  Which means the end of the Madison pictures.  We stopped here http://www.olbrich.org/  before heading home Sunday.  It was a nice time, lots of pretty plants, waters and sculptures and even a touch of fall colors left!

Inside first...

Quails taking dust baths...

Checking out the Venus Fly Trap.

 And then on to the outside gardens.  This was a neat kaleidoscope... take turns spinning it for eachother!

 Trying to determine if it's real or not....

swim time!

We stayed at the Holiday Inn West (about 20 min. to downtown).  It is the self proclaimed "only" waterpark in the entire city, Crawdaddy Cove.  Madison isn't that small, someone needs to cash in on another hotel/waterpark opportunity! And when I say waterpark, that's a pretty loose term.  It was fine for the kids ages, but not really somewhere for your 10/12 and up crowd.  Nice size wading pool for Logan though!  

 Ummm, niiiice crocodile?  He was a bit hesitant at first.

There were a couple short, fast little slides that Logan loved going down with the kids.

Luke met a nice kiddo who helped him shoot some hoops.
