Audrey At Meijer Gardens

Who knew Grand Rapids had such a great place for both kids and parents to spend an awesome fall day outside? Team Thurston loaded up in the Family Truckster and did some exploring in our own back yard recently when we visited Meijer Gardens. We've lived in the Grand Rapids area for five years, and never made the trip until now.

This place has a fantastic kid's area to explore, play and learn about nature. In addition, the sculpture park has some of the finest pieces of large art in the world. The entire time we spent there, we kept saying how amazing it is to have something so culturally important at our doorstep.

Here are some of the photos of our trip:
