Frederick Meijer Gardens

The kids had been begging and begging to go to "The Butterfly Place" and I kept telling them I was waiting for a warm day.  It finally struck and off we went.  We packed up a lunch and headed out.

Walking through the indoor gardens.  They love looking at all the cactus' different flowers and trees.

They had some art pieces that the kids actually wanted to see.  These were blocks made out of old clothes.

This was a bunch of copper wires all twisted together.

They had signs up all over not to tough the art.  We had to have a few reminders about it.  They asked why they couldn't touch it and I went into how their fingerprints could be dirty or they could accidentally scrape part of the art.  While we were sitting down for lunch Adelyn got really quiet and said "Momma, I touched a piece of art.  I'm really sorry."  I thanked her for telling me and reminded her not to touch it next time.  She is such a sweet and honest girl.

We didn't have much at home for lunch....so veggies and pretzels it was.

Walking around outside, this sweet little bear took a nap.

I wouldn't go ahead and say that 55 was warm enough to play in the water but they didn't care.

Should remember to go back in the summer when it's actually warm out!!!

We love going...if only it weren't so far away.
