Fun at the Garden

This morning Joshua and I went to Frederik Meijer Garden with Erin and Owen. Thankfully the rain held off for most of the time we were there. Joshua enjoyed playing in the sand, banging on the drums (even Owen joined in with this activity) and exploring the flowers in the children's garden... but his favorite thing by far was playing in the little water hole in the middle of one of the sculptures as well as their Great Lakes exhibit! We were able to walk around the gardens and check out a few of the sculptures before the rain began to fall. So, we headed back inside and checked out the gallery full of Tom Otterness sculptures. The work of Tom Otterness is being displayed at the gardens as well as all over downtown GR until September and it is some pretty fun stuff! After a tasty lunch and a small walk around the exhibits indoors we headed back home. I think we just may have to get a family membership to the gardens so we can enjoy many more days like today.
