Butterfly house

One of our favorite places to go in the spring and summer is a place called Dow Gardens. It has lots of walking trails, lush gardens and foliage, sculptures, ponds, streams, a children's garden, and even a butterfly house. We used to go a lot when I was little, and always visited when my grandparents were in town too. Parker was only a few months old when we went to the Butterfly House last year, and slept through the whole thing. It was packed, going on a Saturday afternoon, but so fun. Parker loved watching the butterflies fly around, and seeing his Noni, Poppi and cousin Cael too. He tried grabbing a few, but none were harmed :)

It was a GORGEOUS Saturday. . . .warmed up to the low 60s :)
