stacey, scott, ruby and elliot, jarrod's sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew, respectively, recently moved back to grand rapids. we thought it would be nice to take them to frederick meijer gardens, one of our favorite places to go, especially with ethan and lucia. ethan presents ruby with her belated birthday gift in this photo.
jarrod and elliot share a laugh.
the big horse! lord knows how many toddler's nightmares it plays a starring role in.
always the risk-taker, elliot walks yet another fine line.
up we go....
...and back down. lucia looks particularly weird in this photo.
ethan showed stacey and ruby how to get back down.
ethan was smelling the various assortment of leaves. it was cute.
jarrod, elliot and ethan pose underneath the hops.
ethan loved this bell.
1st- Elliot is ginormous!(did i spell that right?) 2nd- thanks for taking my kids out all the time on fun trips!
ReplyDeleteElliot reminds me of you Francesca... huge and very cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Jarrod's sister and family were moving to GR. That is fun for you and his parents, I am sure. Though now you have fewer reasons to visit CO!
ReplyDeletep.s. I like the fat rolls on Elliot's arms!
ReplyDeletep.p.s. In the photo of you walking down the hill holding Lucy, it is clear that she has found the same handhold when on unstable ground as Luca has: the bra! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for posting so many great photos! This blog sure is sweet... See ya round!
