Vacation Fun

We are taking advantage of Matt's time off from school (he gets some reading/homework done while Anna and I are still sleeping in the mornings). Yesterday we went to Meijer Gardens (Matt's sister and brother-in-law gave us a gift membership). There was a huge display of Christmas trees decorated with themes from around the world. Matt and I really liked looking at them, Anna just wanted to watch the train. (She also was quite interested in the cacti. She's ready, Uncle Dan, to have a little lesson on cactus plants.) We had some time to go outside as well to the children's area. Anna loved walking through the little kid gate! It was a fun day and we can go back anytime! (Thanks, Jo and David!) Today we ran a few errands and are now enjoying watching the snow. After naptime, we may take Anna for a little spin in the sled.
