One of the places the kids were looking forward to visiting while in Grand Rapids was the Frederick Meijer Gardens. They love seeing the Christmas trees and trains in the winter, and in the summer there is much to explore in the outdoor gardens!
At each visit the kids always want their picture taken by this particular sculpture! There are many sculptures throughout the gardens, but this is always their favorite!
The first spot we explored was the Great Lakes play area. There are five connecting pools of water in the shape of the great lakes in which the kids can play. Faith had fun taking a boat from the top all the way to the last lake. At first Shane did not like getting wet, but once we convinced him that it meant he was having fun, he was much happier!
And a picture of Shane also playing in the Great Lakes pools. This shows a little bit more of what it actually looks like!
The next stop was the sensory garden where Faith went on a color scavenger hunt! She took her task quite seriously!
Along the walking paths were plants scuplted into animals and people. The kids particularly liked this one!
One last stop outside in front of the Children's garden before heading in for some lunch. It was such a beautiful day to be outside exploring the gardens.
