Meijer Gardens Adventures

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day, and we really wanted to spend some time outside. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were still overly abundant at the house, so we decided to spend the afternoon exploring Frederick Meijer Gardens. This is a beautiful collection of nature trails, outdoor sculpture and indoor greenhouses. Given the gorgeous weather, we decided to spend time wandering around the one mile Sculpture Garden loop, admiring the artwork and landscaping.

Nathan did really well, just hanging out in the stroller that Grandma Gail got for her house. He got really sleepy and dozed off for a little while, but did not really get a good nap in that day. Despite that, he was in pretty good spirits.

After the Gardens, we headed home for dinner and watched Slumdog Millionaire. Monday we relaxed around the house for a few hours before saying our goodbyes and heading back home to get ready for the work week.

Nathan loves his Daddy!

Those two look like they would make beautiful children! :)
