We went to Grand Rapids, Michigan to meet up with the other family's on Tiffany's mommy messageboard. While there, we went swimming at the hotel and played pinball (both which Dominic completely adored) went to the
Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park to see a beautiful butterfly exhibit, cool tropical plants, and some fish and turtles. The also have a children's garden with a sensory garden, a great lakes water fountain, a rock quarry with a huge sandbox, and a tree house village. It was quite a neet place. Dominic's favorite parts were the cool plants (he also has a strong interest in plants, he loves touching different leaves and did it almost the whole time we were at the gardens), the giant sandbox, the pinball (loud joyful giggles when the ball hit the bumpers), and the pool. He was practically swimming by himself with the waterwings. I think he's a natural swimmer... we'll probably get a membership to the YMCA now.
