Nothing can go wrong-o. I am in the Congo.

Theresia, Micah, and Dave spent not one but TWO Saturdays in early January going to the Franklin Park Conservatory where it was warm and bright inside while it was freezing cold outside. Micah got to put his hands on all the leaves, take the petals from flowers, break off a banana from the bunch, scare some koi looking to eat him, do some chin-ups in the Palm room (photo to the left), swing like a monkey in the rainforest, howl like a coyote in the desert, and live like a Sherpa in the Himalayan mountains.

On the second visit, we saw the grand opening of the Orchid Forest.

We bought an annual membership and plan to make a monthly visit throughout the year.
