Iris Gardens

A few weekends ago we visited this Iris Garden at an old chateau near Morges. Since irises don't bloom for very long, there is really only one or two weekends that the gardens are completely in bloom.



We enjoyed walking around with our friends Timo and Claudia and their daughter Lea (who Analise calls Ailee - kind of a backwards form of Lea). Claudia was pregnant at the time but has since given birth to a little boy named Lukas.

The weather happened to be very hot and humid that day - but at least the sun was shining! This has been a rather rainy summer.














Pit stop to feed an burp the baby. Poor little guy was a ball of sweat in his stroller.




Analise really enjoys holding hands and walking with all of her friends - even when it's against their will. She really wanted to hold "Ailee"'s hand so when Lea didn't want to Analise was a little upset. She settled for holding mine and Claudia's hands instead.




The rainbow of color and the smell of the gardens were really spectacular - it was like walking through a Van Gogh painting.
