Butterflies with Aunt Becca

My sister, Becca, is visiting us for Easter weekend. She arrived Wednesday night, and we had planned to spend yesterday with Megan at the St. Louis Zoo, but the temperature in the morning lingered in the 40s and low 50s, so we opted for an indoor activity. We went to the Butterfly House, located in a park that includes a nice playground and an antique indoor carousel. Afterward, we ate lunch at the nearby Sweet Tomatoes. It's a restaurant I'd been wanting to try for a while, and its main feature is a huge salad bar. Delicious!

Here are some Canada geese with babies just outside the Butterfly House.

Lots of beautiful orchids.

Megan and Becca also had fun on the playground outside for a few minutes.

And we saved the carousel for last. We love this because it's only a dollar per person per ride!
