Thanksgiving Point

 Jaren and I went with my family to Thanksgiving Point overnight. We had so much fun and it was so nice and relaxing to have a little get-away. Jaren and I decided to go to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens since we have both never been there before. The gardens were amazing! There were 17 themed gardens and it took us over 2 hours to get through them all. Suprisingly there was a nice breeze the whole time, so it didn't get as hot as I thought it would! Everything was incredibly beautiful! If you have never been before, I would highly recommend going!
This was the rose garden. There were so many different roses and they were all in bloom!



Look at all these fish! You could feed the fish for 25 cents. We didn't have any quarters, but the fish still gathered around hoping for some food! The ponds and streams were so pretty! I didn't take any pictures, but they were covered with lily pads and lotus flowers!
This waterfall is also an amphitheater. There is a huge hill in front of this waterfall where families can sit when there are concerts and events.


There is a new garden in the making called "The Light of the World" garden. There are huge sculptures depicting the miracles in Christ's life. Some of the sculptures were small and are currently in the process of being made on a much larger scale. This sculpture is of Christ walking on water. This garden was AMAZING!
