On Monday evening, Emma and I went to Thanksgiving Point to see the gardens and the new Tree of Life sculpture. Adam had received two free tickets that expired Tuesday.
The weather was absolutely perfect. There were lots and lots of tulips and daffodils, but not a lot of crowds because it isn't the official tulip festival yet. I loved it. It was great to be in such a pretty place with my girl.
There were several floral sculptures. This one was by Monet's Pond, according to the sign. Emma said it was his sister Claudia, who, while lesser known, was also an accomplished painter. Trust Emma to provide a narrative, whether she makes it up or not.
The Tree of Life was interesting. It was sort of an impressionistic view of it. Joseph and Hyrum, Captain Moroni and some random colonial looking guy were there. It all worked. There were also several different depictions of Christ. I think my favorite was this baptism one.
Emma and I were thinking this tree would be really pretty at night because there were lights in all the branches.
We wended our way back to the entrance and kept telling each other over and over what a beautiful evening it was.
Emma wanted to buy me dinner, so we ate at Spitz. Daughters. Believe the hype. I love being with her.
