All Snugli-ed up and ready to go! He was practically the only infant there in a baby carrier. Everyone else had strollers which only clogged the busy pathways. Go Mommy for thinking of this! But Carson's poor little feet were a slightly blue at the end :(First up, the butterfly exhibit. I was especially excited about this because I'd been to one back in Pennsylvania before and it was amazing. However, I was a little let down here in Phoenix. The butterflies were in an outdoor environment (rather than indoor with humidity levels cranked up and monitored), which probably limited the types of butterflies and the quantity. I expected hundreds to be flying around and landing all over us, however that didn't happen. Bummer. But there were a couple cool ones to see.
My favorite little butterfly, of course! Too bad his eyes were closed, hahaNow, on to the Chihuly glass sculptures. There were many different displays there and I didn't get a picture of all of them. You can visit his website to see some more professional shots. There were way too many people around and some of the glass was in shaded areas that didn't let the line shine well and really show off the sculpture. These were some of my favorites.
"Agaves" at the entrance
"Hornets" - I love the texture on these. How does he do that?!
"Float Boat" - looks like a bunch of marbles with cool swirls of colors
"Blue Flamingos" - these are actually sitting in a little stream, but I didn't photograph that well enough
"Red Trumpets" - probably not the official title, but Carson was getting tired at this point, so we wrapped it up. I love the vibrant red!
He was zonked out in the end. We had only been walking for an hour, but it was way past his sleepy time. We had a great day. Thanks Gigi!

Thank you!! It was so much fun to be with you and Carson. He was such a good boy.
I love the Garden! I haven't seen the butterflies this year, but have seen the Chihuly exhibit once in the day and once at night and loved it!
