Field trip with my girls and my mom!



What a beautiful day to go on a field trip -- to one of my most favorite places in Michigan: the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park (here's the link). We took Grandma along, which was a blessing to her and to us.  My mom is nearly 90 years old!  She had me when she was 46 years old and has been a sweet and healthy lady all her life! 

We wheeled her around in a wheel chair because the Garden is HUGE and she wouldn't have been able to see much of it on foot.   She loved seeing everything!

This is, of course, Leonardo DaVinci's magnificent horse.....stunning to behold!



This sculpture was titled "Julia" so the girls thought I should pose with it!  Haha!



It was a great day!  Tomorrow, we are going to a local zoo, so that will be fun as well.

Till next time, Julie

(p.s.  Thank you to all who commented on the Blogger of the Week award.  Such a cool honor!  I'll try to get back with you all.....when our week is done, I think!)

    We go there every year ... usually in the spring. I love their hedge maze ... and the butterfly garden. :o)

    Wow - that horse is immense - amazing!

    I just read about your wait on ministry. It can be hard - I remember being there many years ago. But my husband learned to say then (and has had the opportunity to say many times since), "It's never wrong to wait on God." I'm confident He has a plan for you that doesn't make sense now but will in time.

    Now that is a horse. That looks like a great place, and how wonderful that you got to take your mom along. She was 46! wow. And here I thought I was probably pretty safe. LOL!
