For many years we maintained a family membership to Red Butte Garden. We haven't had one for the last two or three years, but Monday night we joined up again.
We read that the Salt Lake Scots Pipe Band were playing for family night, so we thought we'd check it out.
They were great! We enjoyed the stirring rendition of Amazing Grace. They talked about the history of bagpipes and tartans and they took audience questions. They were very personable.
Melinda saw one of her home school friends there. Their family makes kettle corn for events. It was excellent, salty, sweet and very tasty!
Saffy and Nigel had fun marching in the fountain to the sound of bagpipes.
The kids loved playing on these lizards when they were small. It's funny how things don't seem as big as they once did as you grow up.
We had forgotten how much we loved to walk the paths and enjoy the foliage and flowers. Nigel discovered the children's garden and was in heaven running around among the plants. Saffy and Nigel had fun hiding under this tree.
We enjoyed seeing how much the garden has grown since we started going many years ago. The trees are more mature, there is more plant diversity, and they have developed new areas. We will definitely be going back again soon.
Here is the schedule for their family nights in July:
MONDAY, JULY 9 - Capoeira (Afro-Brazilian martial art)
MONDAY, JULY 16 - Bien Flamenco
MONDAY, JULY 23 - Kenshin Taiko

I think I have a free membership to Red Butte because I am a student. I would love to tag along with you sometime. Let me know if and when you would be up for some additional company.
Hugs,
Carrie
