A Night With The Butterflies

Each year during the months of March and April, Meijer Gardens brings in butterflies - lots of them. The kids always love it and they have lots of fun activities. They also offer a night to members only to come in at night, and watch the butterflies fly around at night. The kids bring their flashlights and have a great time. This year we ran into the fabulous Zwart family, which Rainah was thrilled about, as Simon is her best buddy. We had a great night of food, music, activities, and beautiful butterflies!

Santa's Reindeer

Every year, a few of Santa's reindeer come visit Frederik Meijer Gardens, and we've gone every year since Rainah was born.  Indoors, they have Christmas trees decorated from all different countries around the world, as well as a great electric train that Rainah just LOVES to watch.  I actually think she likes the train more than the Reindeer.  Every year we have to drag her out of there.  As always, we had lots of fun- Rainah and Daddy even had a little snowball fight outside.  Good times!
