Yet Another Beautiful Day!

Lucky us! You never know what you're going to get in Michigan, and just when we thought summer was over we got another amazing day, so we decided to spend it outside at Meijer Gardens. Rainah always loves it there and it is so fun to watch her play! She especially loves the to play in the water with the boats and ended up SOAKED today. We are really going to miss going there throughout the winter!

Children's Garden

Since we are members of the Children's Museum, we get reciprocal membership with Frederik Meijer Gardens during May. Unfortunately, we have been so busy this month, we didn't have time to go until today. It was a perfect day to go weather-wise. There were a TON of school groups there, though, which made it a bit annoying at times... with grade-schoolers as far as the eye could see running around the children's gardens, but Rainah kept up and I think only got knocked over once- it didn't even phase her.
Of course, her favorite thing was playing in the gravel pit... had a hard time getting her out of there! But she had a great time and fell asleep on the way home in the car.
As we were leaving we walked by a mom with 2 kids in a stroller and the kid in the front had a monkey backpack. Rainah walked right up and started doing her monkey impression. The mom asked her is she was a chicken, and I pointed at the monkey and said, "she's being a monkey". She cracked up.
