Michigan (part 3)...

I know this is getting really long, but we had a blast and want to share with you...Sunday the weather was a little chilly to go back to the beach with the wind, so we decided to go to the Fredrick Meijer Sculpture and Garden Park (http://www.meijergardens.org/). This place is amazing...We started out walking through an indoor garden area that had different rooms of flowers and sculptures...here is Grace making a wish
Richie and Seth walking through the rainforest room...
On our way to the Children's Gardens we passed by this sculpture and someone told Mom that it was the "Mad Mom" sculpture...LOL
The children's area was fantastic. There was so much for them to do...water, playing house...
And of course a door...this was their favorite part
Then we headed over to the farm area, where they had some activities for the kids. The kids looked for egss that the chickens laid, hung clothes out to dry, pumped water, and painted the barn...

The kids had a great time!!
Mom and Dad had a good time too watching the kids from the porch!!!
Now on to the sculpture park...this was our first stop, "The American Horse"
A spade! It is amazing what people consider art!!! LOL
These were sooo cool...men sitting down made out of metal letters. The kids were looking for the letters that spell their names!!
A closer look...
We had such a great time in Michigan, Seth kept asking us if we could live there!!! hahaha Richie even said he could sooo be a snow bird, to be honest with you I could to, because winters in Michigan are too much for me!!! LOL We are all looking forward to our next trip up there in a month, so prepare yourself for lots more pictures!! hahaha
