Fred Meijer Gardens

How do you tell a 1 year old not to play in that kiddie pool?

Ok, so I am very behind on my blogging and keeping in touch with everyone, but that's because this summer is so much fun!!!

Nicolynn and I are busy almost every day, and nap time is clean-up time or work-out time for me. And in the evenings I am trying to clean-up some more or relax and recuperate. :) (I can't recall spelling that word before, so I hope spell check gave me the right word)

Macho women!

So on June 28 Nicolynn and I met up with some friends at Fredrick Meijer Gardens. It was such a hot day, and they have the coolest outdoor water things.

The only problem with the cool water toys is that Nicolynn wanted to play in the water. (Right next to the sign that told me to keep my kid out of the water). Needless to say that was not the most relaxing day trying to keep her out of the water. But we did have fun.

They also had some shaded paths outside, and inside there was a whole room with a model of the gardens that Nicolynn could play with. As she gets older, this will be a great outing for us.


My good griend Rachel also wrote about this day. You can see her blog here:

Finally some water she could go in!!!

She was a little ahead of me on her blog. By the time Josh got home that day, he already knew all about our trip to the gardens because Rachel is so good about keeping up on her blog.
