Back For More Butterflies At Meijer gardens

Because we have a family membership – I think our plus 2 level makes us contributors which sounds really fancy (wink)- we have unlimited access to the gardens. Caelun so loves the butterflies so I took him back for a repeat viewing. This time we got to see an enclosed space where monarchs were coming out of their chrysalis. We also got another view of the indoor water features he so dearly loves. We also took a tour of the turtle tank downstairs. Cheers for Fred and Lena Meijer for building this fabulous treasure so near us that we are able to frequent it on such a regular basis.

He probably isn’t supposed to be touching that but – oh well.
