Meijer Gardens

Hi All,
The kids made their first visit to Meijer Gardens today. I attended an art fair in the morning with my mother in law and sister in law. Jim and the kids met up with us for lunch at a nearby restaurant, and we enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake. Then we were on to the Gardens, where we met up with Jim's brother and the nephews. We strapped the kids into the stroller and off we went! It was a hot, sunny afternoon, so our nephews headed straight for the children's water "playground". The Gardens are featuring a Chihuly exhibit, so there are lots of interesting glass sculptures scattered around the grounds. And the size of some of them was pretty incredible. The kids are still developing their art appreciation. In the meantime, I think they at least enjoyed some time outside.
