Spring is still so gorgeous here in Buffalo. A few weeks ago we got to go to the Buffalo Zoo for the first time (thanks to two free passes a friend gave us!) and it was so much fun.
We loved these bears so much!
We've never appreciated spring so much in our lives since moving up north! I just can't get over how beautiful God's creation is.
This gorilla was so funny - just chillin.
Wes is laughing with the hyenas.
Sweet polar bears - I bet they LOVE it here in the winter!
That day was so much fun and I hope we get to go back to the zoo a few times this spring and summer.
Wes and I celebrated our 7th anniversary on June 1st!! We couldn't do a trip like we would've loved to, but we did take a day (a beautiful one at that) and visited the Botanical Gardens because we'd never been there.
There was a huge checker board in the middle of one of the greenhouses, so we played a game. Well, we didn't finish it because it was pretty hot in there and it was taking a long time, so we called it a tie.
So we saw this sign under a mirror in one of the greenhouses...
and then we took this goofy picture of ourselves in the mirror "enjoying the gardens." We're silly.
Wes made me hold this. Very funny. But he's right, I am sensitive!
Cool pic of a cactus:
Ooooooh, so rebellious.
Our favorite part was the rainforest.
After the botanical gardens, we found this cute little place for lunch called Daisy's Cafe. It was really neat and very delicious! We love finding and going to new places, and we may be visiting that one again since it's only about 15 minutes from our house.
After lunch we wanted to enjoy more of the gorgeous day, so we went over to the Lake Erie harbor to walk around.
We went up to the top of the observation tower and got these shots:
A great shot of the city:
It was a great day for a boat ride. Too bad we didn't have one.
We sat on a bench and had some ice cream and this was our view:
It was a glorious day and a great way to celebrate our anniversary together! And as you can see, Buffalo is an amazing place in the spring and summer... come on up for a visit!!
