One of our New Favorite Places--Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania

We bought season passes to go to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, so we've gone several times. 
 Almost every time we go we find a new corner of the massive grounds to explore.
















It's also interesting to see the different flowers in bloom at different seasons of the year. 
Pictured below are the Italian fountains.

 An awesome looking tree house, tucked away on a less-traveled path.
These monstrously huge lily pads are quite a sight!
 This fountain is in a grotto, and looks very different when it's dark and the colored lights are turned on.
Our favorite thing to do is to watch the fountain shows that are shown on weekend evenings from May to October.
I put this photo in to show that we were there on the night it was a full moon in August.
 Here are some still photos of the dancing fountains from our visit to see them in August and September.
In August the music played was from Broadway plays, and we were disappointed that there weren't many familiar songs.
 The lights on the fountains were still very pretty.
In October the music played was from Disney movies, so we enjoyed it much more.
 Those are flames on top of the water in the picture above and below.
                           
We also went to the Philadelphia Temple before or after we went to Longwood Gardens, so they were wonderful trips!
