Butterflies!

The butterflies are blooming at the Meijer Gardens again, so last week Mom and I took Lexi, Tori, Eli, and Matea off to see the butterflies and play outside (it looked slightly warm, which is better than not warm at all). :) Unlike last year, this time it wasn't as crowded and there were a TON of butterflies! And they gave the kids a passport book with pictures of butterflies to find. We found almost all of them and the kids loved looking up what kind of butterfly each one was. We only played outside for about an hour since it turned "not warm at all," but we still had a great day at the butterflies!
