A Walk In the Park

Yesterday Mom, Bobbie, Rich and I went to Fredrick Meijer Gardens to see the Amazing Chocolate Tree, DaVinci's Horse, and The Thinker. Mom didn't walk through the gardens, but she did walk from the wheel chair bay to my car across the parking lot. We had a great time!

We found our favorite candy bars on the history of chocolate display.

We learned about the cacao tree; the blossoms really smell like chocolate!

We were almost stepped on by a 24-foot horse!!

We took a break here and there throughout the gardens.

When we got home, Bill and Pattie and their crew arrived. Then Jon and Linda, then Tami and Dan, then Tina, Mike, and Aunt Dorothy. Late arrivals were Matt, Jan and Raina a little after one a.m. - they drove all the way from Florida.

Today we're eating, visiting, and soon there will be serious card playing. Serious card playing.
