“Pure Michigan”

Despite the misadventure of getting rear-ended in Gary, IN, we finally made it to Grand Rapids, MI to spend some time with Missy’s parents.  Grammy and Papa only recently moved to this Great Lakes state and we’re discovering some of its many treasures.  The Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is definitely worth a visit.  Just make sure to set aside the whole day and wear good walking shoes.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a very friendly place.  We even got to hang out with Mr. and Mrs. Meijer…

…and Fluffy the fire-breathing dragon.

 

 

Claire egg sat for BIG momma robin, and filled in as a human sundial.

 

 

 

Isaiah found his avatar… 

 

 

…and before we left, we tried the floating salad and rock candy on a stick.
