Yesterday we went to see the butterflies are blooming exhibit at Frederik Meijer Gardens. It was so much fun. We had such wonderful weather that we were able to not only explore the indoor garden but play in the outdoor children's garden too. You really enjoyed pointing to all the butterflies and the flowers. I think that you liked the butterflies best but that room was too warm for you. After a little while in there you were ready to go play outside again and cool off, (proof that you are your daddy's girl, I liked the warm muggy air of the butterfly room.)
It was also really fun to see you enjoy the waterfall this time. The last time we were at the gardens you were afraid, this time you explored the waterfall sicking your arms through the rocks reaching for the water.
It was nice to be able to spend the day with just the three of us before your dad left for Alaska. For the next week we are on our own. (Your Uncle Aaron and Aunt Chelsea were hoping that your daddy would have taken you with, they keep reminding us that it is free to fly with you right now so they wanted you to visit. The trouble is you like to move way too much to sit on a plane for that long. You were not even happy to stay in your stroller at the gardens you wanted to walk, I can not imagine what it would be like to try to have you sit on dad's lap for a 6 hour plane ride. Sorry Uncle Aaron.)

We miss you here in Alaska Jackie!!! But we understand that flying is tough on little kids... Next time you will have to have your daddy bring you and your mommy to visit.
