A Beautiful Day

We spent the day today at The Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park.

I do believe that we all had a wonderful time. Famke loves to point at things, which should come in handy next month, when she will celebrate her first birthday.

For being a warm day today, there were very little bugs about. Even in this swampy area, where we spent some time to get out of the sun.

We had never ventured down to the Michigan Farm Garden, so it was a lovely surprise to find even more interesting things. I do love flowers and plants, but the sculpture is fabulous. I LOVE that.

And, my favorite flower, the humble zinnia. So pretty!

Jonge and Pake had a fabulous time. How could they not? The had a snack up in a tree house, and while Famke napped inside where it was cooler, the guys messed about with toy boats in the water.




There is SO much to see, and even more things are being built. Really, truly, if you come to Grand Rapids for any reason at all, do go to the Meijer Gardens.

Although, it will wear you out.
