Thursday at Meijer Gardens (part one)

Truly, one of our best purchases, the Grandparents/Grandchildren membership to Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park.

I was so happy to see that even as a ten year old, Famke will hold Pake's hand.

Somebody has to do it, or he will wonder off.

Oh wait. That would be me.

It's why I have SO MANY pictures of them from behind.

This is one of my favorite sculptures in the park.

 Hmm.., I wonder why?

Were he on a porch swing, it could be THGGM.

We rode this, and learned things!

Porch sitters!

I believe that until we found the waterfall with all the Koi, THIS was Feintje's favorite thing.

He would make a great farm hand.

So much growing in the farm gardens.

I don't think we could have asked for a lovelier day!

Although in the past I have taken pictures of the meadows, I guess I really had no idea what was so amazing about them.

Now I know.

I loved this, and could have spent the day wandering its path and taking pictures of grand children, and bees!  There were A LOT of bees!
And they had no reason at all to pay attention to us.
