Best Laid Plans

The day before Easter, the kids and I headed up to Grand Rapids to spend the day with my parents.  It was a beautiful day, and we planned to pick up some lunch and have a picnic in a local park, followed by a trip to Meijer Gardens to see the butterfly exhibit.

The picnic was a success!


Grandpa and Nathan had to explore the park a bit.

When we got to Meijer Garden, we realized that every other person in West Michigan had also decided to see the butterflies that day!  The butterfly exhibit is always busy, especially on the weekends, but the line to get in the building was so long that we decided it would be more stress than fun.  So the kids and I posed for a quick photo with the tulips and we got back in the car.

Instead of seeing butterflies, we did some of this:

And this.

Natalie decided to snuggle in for a nap.


All in all, it turned out to be a perfect day!
