Frederik Meijer Gardens

It's been a few weeks again already since the last post of pictures! We did this back in March, too. The Frederik Meijer Gardens fills their botanical garden with butterflies each March and April. Our favorites are always the large Blue Morpho butterflies. I particularly love seeing them because it reminds me of being in Costa Rica and seeing them in the "wild", along with the clusters of orchids blooming from in the crooks of tree branches.  
Friends Cole and Moriah with Addie and Peter being goofy - yes, that is snow in the background. We were glad to be in the warm garden greenhouse!

In one room they had catepillars - the kids had fun trying to find them amongst the plants. 

Well, by this point they were not excited to sit and take a "nice" picture with mom...oh well!

No pics of butterflies - I didn't have my good camera along so the ones I did take were pretty blurry.

But didn't this one turn out great! We got to play outside in the relative warmth (it must have gotten into the 40's that day and felt like spring) and explore the sculptures and children's garden. I caught Peter mid-air as he jumped to give the horse a high-five!
