May Day at Winterthur

We went to Winterthur with our friend JK on May Day--perfect timing to see all the azaleas blooming. According to one of the gardeners there, DuPont planted something like 8 acres of azaleas, and they are unbelievable.

But we didn't go for the azaleas. We went to take R to the children's garden, which she absolutely adored.

Here she is visiting the fairy picnic area.

And R's favorite thing of all: fairy mist inside the fairy ring . . .
But be careful, or the mist might take you away!Family portrait in the giant birds' nest . . .
Whew! By lunchtime, R was plumb tuckered.
