Flower Show pics

Boy has it been a busy month or 2. March was the month with 3 family birthdays and a trip to the flower show in Chicago.  My mom and I have taken several trips to Chicago over the years through a tour company, Hartzlers.  This time it was to the Chicago flower show at Navy Pier.  It was a nice show. The theme was backyard games.  So we were greeted at the entrance by this great bench made out of baseball equipment.

Bench made out of baseballs, bats and bases, Hmm, wonder how it would look done in Tiger orange and blue?



There were lots of different things going on at the show.  There was a cake bake off going on with different garden themed cakes around the showplace. A stone sculpture.  Dining floral displays.  I was surprised that there were no bonsai displays, but all in all it was a nice show.

While in Chicago, we were able to get together with my niece Jennifer.  Grandma's green beer was because that was the Saturday that Chicago has it's St. Patty's day parade.







All in all a good time was had.  Wonderful italian dinner and time to visit.
