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!

A Morning with the Zwarts

This morning Rainah and I met up with Jen, Anna, and Simon at the Meijer Children's Gardens and let the kids run some energy off. It was a gorgeous day and they had lots of fun, especially playing in the water. Just before we left Simon and Rainah had a little lovey moment- so cute!

An Evening with the Zwarts

Yesterday the Zwart clan came over to hang for a little while. Nothing too exciting; just some good 'ole cookin out on the grill (which I had just put together the night before), good conversation, and the beautiful sound of children playing (and crying and whining, etc...). We started off by making Joel sweep our deck (thanks again!) The kids played for awhile and Rainah was not in a good mood at all. She'd been cranky since Thursday and since I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, I attributed it to teeth coming in. We had dinner, and then let the kids play some more down in the basement. Rainah felt really warm, so I took her temperature and of course it was 102.2! She was kind of just zoning the rest of the night and I felt so bad for her... she wasn't really in the mood to play with Simon and Anna (I hope they still had fun). It was nice for us to have some adult conversation with another couple, too! Simon is getting around great and is just the cutest little guy; I loved listening to him jabber. And Anna is such a great big sister and is a very busy girl playing soccer and taking swimming! Hopefully we can get together lots more this summer!
