Exploring FMG

I have been wanting to get to Frederik Meijer Gardens all summer to walk through the sculpture garden to take in the Dale Chihuly exhibit. We finally got our chance this afternoon. It was a beautiful afternoon to admire all of the beautiful glass sculptures spread throughout the facility, both indoors and out.

One of my favorite spots is the waterfall.

I loved how they incorporated the Chihuly pieces into this spot.

Hannah is not totally crazy about sitting in the stroller for long periods of time, so Jason volunteered to let her ride on his shoulders. That lasted about 2 minutes.

I think Hannah's favorite spot was the farm, or more specifically, the corn crib.

She also spotted the "nay nay" and wanted a ride. We had to explain that he wasn't real.

Jack woke up on our walk, so I thought it would be a good chance to get a picture with both kids. Hoping to lure Hannah into a picture, we posed by the cow. You can see how successful we were with getting a shot.

We tried again on a bench by the corn crib and bribes of treats if Hannah would sit still. While we were doing so, some nice people volunteered to take a family picture. I think it perfectly captures what a nice afternoon we had.
