Meijer Gardens...Take 2 this week.

We visited the Gardens today for one last look at the trains for the season. Adri decided to stay with Nana and Papa came alone with us. I think Sammy and Papa really enjoyed it! :)

Thanks goodness the butterflies will be here soon!

Mommy, I always make cute faces for the camera, don't I? (Her exact words)

Ok, so Papa got a little cut out (darn!). This is by far my favorite picture of the day and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get both of them in it! The looks on their faces are precious!
