I know, it is taking me forever to get all these wonderful memories uploaded to my blog but I am sure that the anticipation has made you more eager! Really, what could be better than a butterfly and a caterpillar? Here are good examples of a Miss Mollie Butterfly and a Tanzie Caterpillar. Very unique varieties indeed! Aren't they lovely?
We found these lovelies in the Butterfly house at Cypress Gardens. And if you have never been to Cypress Gardens just outside of Charleston then you are missing the bargain of the century. Just wait until you see what we got for just $10 each!
This is inside the wonderful Butterfly House which is full of beautiful flowers and plants, butterflies of course, birds, ducks and more!
Girlfriends - Tanya and Mollie (and me, taking the picture!)
Smile for the camera!
They all really were patient with my picture taking! But just look at the beauty that surrounded us all day long! And it gets better in the summer! We were early.
Classic Kidlark! I love it! Love them too!
The girls on the swing.
Just having fun as we rested inside one of the large party gazebos.
Ah, eaten by the alligator!
Included in the $10 is the use of a paddle boat. Kirby and Rick did the honors as us "girls" just sort of sat back and enjoyed the ride. We only saw one alligator but he was a very, very big one! Exciting!
I love getting pictures of my favorite man!
Rick and Tanya as we headed under the low bridge. They are used to low bridges. Look at the next picture - taken in January 2007 in Lake Sylvia, Florida. Some things just never change! You gotta love it!
Also included in our $10 admission charge were the large older alligators living in captivity. I think when they get too large for the lagoon they put them in here so they won't eat the people in row boats!
There is also a small aquarium that I didn't get any pictures of and some exotic birds and some exotic bird watchers like these -
Oh, and then we stayed and had a lovely picnic in one of the large pavilions. I really do think Cypress Gardens is the best bargain in the whole Charleston area!
The pictures are better if you click on them to enlarge and then browser back.
