We headed to Grand Rapids another evening during Christmas break before Christmas. We headed to Meijer Garden to view their Christmas around the world. There are many Christmas trees all decorated for a different country with an explanation of the decorations. We had fun finding the pickle on the German tree and going over memories about the Spanish tree. Aunt Kathy and Mary met us there and we spent some time running around outside - the kids love the children's garden even in the dark and cold - and while we were out there the horse and wagon came by so they all took a turn petting the horse! We got to see some of the Art Prize art work and spent a long time looking at a 'Where's Waldo' sort of art project made out of different articles of household supplies. Another room had an electric train running through several rooms and buildings found in Grand Rapids made out of all natural elements. Mushrooms for roof tops, acorn tops for chimneys, flower petals for shingles, etc. Very well done. Another great adventure!
