    Thanks guys!

    Here's the website: http://www.meijergardens.org/index.php

    The Gardens are in Grand Rapids and like Sparklecoon said, the horse is Leonardo DaVinchi's Horse. It's SOOO much prettier in the summer, or when the flowers are in bloom, but the butterfly house only goes from March to April, so we had to get there to see them. I would definitely recommend if anybody is taking a trip to Michigan, they should see the gardens..

    I love the pics Ashley! I would love to go visit that place. There is a small butterfly exhibit in Columbus and I love to go visit there. I dont think it is anything like what you've shown though. Looks like you guys had a good day.

    Gorgeous photos! I didn't realize the butterfly house was open for such a short period of time. Andy and I'll have to make a trip.

    My sister and her family have a summer place about an hour southwest of Grand Rapids. My mom, dad and I visited them there 2 summers ago and we all went up to the Meijer Gardens. It is a beautiful place. They had a display of different types of orchids which my dad really enjoyed.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
