Butterflies!

Casey had today off and since it was a beautiful, mild day we decided to make our first visit of the season to see the butterflies at Meijer Gardens. We saw the butterflies first and Esther loved trying to find them on the flowers and plants. Peter was scared of them. We tried to explain that they don't sting or hurt us, but he was not to be convinced. Casey ended up heading outside with him while the girls spent a little more time inside.

Since it was a nice day, we explored the treehouse, log cabin and maze in the children's garden. We also checked out the butterfly activities and spent some time putting together butterfly body parts and dressing up as butterflies.

It was a great way to spend a spring morning and we're looking forward to spending a lot of time there this summer!
