Japanese Garden

it was so hot!

aside from the heat and aching legs, we had a fantastic time!

there were some nice waterfalls

It was so nice of Maryedith and Dave to invite us to go with them to Frederik Meijer Gardens.  We had a super great time even with the terrible heat and humidity.   Remind me to NEVER go when it's that hot out!   I was melting!  The Japanese Garden was so beautiful.  I really had a greater appreciation for it since having my own trees manicured this week.
