This evening we took advantage of a wonderful opportunity. I recently enrolled Lena in a playgroup that meets at one of the TK schools. We went for the first time last week. She seemed to really like it. While we were there I found out that they were having an event at the Frederick Meijer Gardens tonight. It's a botanical garden and sculpture park. If you remember, we went there last summer with Grandma Sheryl. All the kids enrolled in that playgroup and the many others who are affliated somehow (throughout Kent County and surrounding counties I think) were invited to enjoy the gardens free of charge. Our playgroup facilitator estimated that there would be about 1,800 kids there. There were a lot, that's for sure. Lena really enjoyed walking around and looking at everything and being around other kids.
They even had a percussion band playing at the large outdoor amplitheater and gave out snacks for the kids. It was really nice.
Here are a few of the pics I took:
Lena really loved the drums! I got a cute video of her dancing to the beat. The thing she is shaking in her hand is an easter egg filled with something so it makes noise when shaken.
We are so glad we got to take the opportunity to get out and have some fun tonight. Lena absolutely loved it.
Tomorrow we are going back home for a very brief visit. Jim is attending a funeral and we are going to try to see some family briefly before we head back home.
