Red Butte Gardens

Friday night Mike and I went to our second concert this season at Red Butte Gardens.  And we have totally enjoyed the concerts there, so much so, we were pretty excited when one of Mike's co-workers mentioned that they were going to the last concert of the season, Trombone Shorty And The Orleans Avenue, and that there were tickets still available!  The next day we listened to a few of their songs on You Tube, and decided we had to go!!  Anyway, the first concert we went to was Diana Krall, she was amazing.  Then the most recent one was Dead Can Dance...really great too!  Originally for Friday's concert, the plan was for Mike to get a ride to work that morning, and then I would pick him up.  But, his ride fell through the last minute, so he left his car at work, and we decided to go up Saturday to bring the kids to the Gardens, and pick his car up.  We had been planning to take them there this summer anyway, so it really worked out well.  Although, it was pretty hot!!  We would like to go back when it is a little cooler and have a picnic with them.  They have lots of little areas in the shade with tables and chairs to set up a nice picnic.

One of my favorite things there is the duck pond.  The ducks are very friendly, and will even eat out of your hands.  We have been really impressed with Red Butte Gardens...they are very environmentally friendly, and have recycling there at the concerts and throughout the gardens...we plan to stay members for many years to come.   We would even love to take the kids to a concert next year, when they are a little older and can handle a late night.
