Frederick Meijer Gardens

In April, at the beginning of Spring Break, we went to Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park here in Grand Rapids. We went with Nana Nita and our cousin Chloe and had so much fun! The main thing we saw was the butterfly exhibit. If you wear bright colors sometimes the butterflies will land on you! We didn't have very much luck with that this time, but it was neat to see them all flying around inside the conservatory. Jack started getting a little restless when all the girls had decided they wanted to walk through the butterflies one more time, so he and I went outside to the children's park to play. It was a little chilly and windy, but being a boy, he didn't care and just wanted to run and get some of his never-ending energy out! Thanks for a super fun time Nana!
