Wednesday we met my cousin/friend :) Catherine at Meijer Gardens with her two little ones for some good outside fun! The weather was a PERFECT 80 and sunny, not too hot and not too cold. Joshua and Eli played well together, the babies were content (baby Matthew didn't make a peep I don't think!), and we got in a lot of talking. A perfect day if you ask me! Before we knew it it was 4 0'clock and we had been there 5 hours already. We stayed all day basically and had a wonderful time! I didn't want to leave, but dinner was calling, the gardens were going to close, and we both needed to get home. I'm looking forward to more fun days with Catherine and Joshua and Matthew once we live even closer to them!
Sitting on the cushions for story time!
Up close with the spider from "The Very Busy Spider" book.
Eli got to feed the strawberries to the caterpillar from "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"
Matea had the cherry pie for the caterpillar.
And Eli also got to feed the caterpillar the cupcake.
A beautiful butterfly! 
Eli's contemplates his next move during our checker game.
Who knew that making animal tracks in silly putty was so much fun?
Matea tries reach out and touch Matthew. She likes boys.
Eli was getting big smiles from Matthew, and then pointed to Matthew and told me, "This one is better than Matea, Mommy." 
Finally, it was time to play with the boats! The boys were so happy!
Joshua lined up all kinds of boats for Matea and she dropped them in the water one by one.
The face that launched a thousand - okay, only 10 - ships!
Matea's favorite part - splashing in the water with her feet!
And, since it is a garden, a picture of a flower and not a kid. :)
