fReDeRiK mEijEr GaRdEns...

  Susan and I took Kaylin and Dax to this AMAZING place called Frederik Meijer Gardens!  It is a huge garden and sculpture park with 125 acres of natural wetlands, woodlands, meadows, and botanical gardens!  The best part is they have a huge children's section with SO many fun areas and activities for kids!  They have 10 different themed areas for children (ex.: Tree House Village, Log Cabin, Butterfly Maze, Labyrinth, etc...)  It was definitely an all day event...who knew there was such an amazing hidden treasure out here in Grand Rapids?!!  


A big sand park with lots of fun toys!



The Great Lakes Garden!  
This was their favorite...the water area was shaped like the 5 great lakes with lots of fun facts about each one!

The Kid-Sense Garden!  
Lots of fun instruments and things that involve the 5 senses!!
They even had mint leaves that you could taste and eat!

The Story Telling Garden!
(So cute...the Alice in Wonderland Table)


A beautiful waterfall garden!

The Tropical Garden!
Grandma and Kaylin are standing by the chocolate tree!!! :)
