Frederick Meijer Gardens

On Tuesday I had the privelage of accompanying 2 teachers, 12 mothers, and 51 kindergarten students to the Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. I have never been there before so I was excited to see the Butterflies Blooming. It turned out to be a chilly day but the kids didn't seem to mind in the least. We started our trip with a bus ride and when we arrived we walked through a desert setting and then wandered into the butterfly exhibit. It was spectacular to see all the butterflies just flitting about like they didn't have a care in the world. Despite the warm temperatures in the butterfly sanctuary, it was awesome to just look at the different flowering plants and butterflies. The kids patience level was nothing like mine. Of course they would flit from one spot to the next and were ready to go after about 5 minutes. Here is a slideshow of some snapshots we took throughout the day.
