Every year the
Meijer Botanical Gardens has a display of Christmas trees from around the world. The tree are decorated they would be in that country. There is also a sign with a write-up that describes some of their holiday traditions. What a fun way to learn about all the different countries! We try to make it to see them every year, but don't always make it. We
decided that since we were on our way home from the hotel after "Night at Your Museum" the night before, that we would stop and look at the trees. I love this sleigh they always have outside the entrance. Great photo op!!
I told Marc I wanted him to, as we were looking at them all, to think about which ones he liked the best because when we were done looking at them all, I wanted to know which one was him favorite an why. This Brazil tree was my favorite. I loved all the bright fun colors on it. The kids liked that one of the Brazil traditions was for the kids to leave their shoes under the tree and when they woke up Christmas morning, they would be filled with nuts an candy.
We decided that there were lots of fun, good photo ops, so we walked around snapping pictures of the kids. (They can all be seen at pictures.stoufer.com) A nice lay offered to take a picture of the family. Usually when someone else takes our picture, they never turn out. This one actually turned out pretty well!
Samantha looks so stinking cute in the picture! I like the trees, greenery, an waterfall are in the background behind them.
It was a fun trip to the
Meijer Gardens. We usually do most of our visits there during the summer and we can go to the Children's Garden. It was fun to go during the winter and see the Christmas trees.
