The exhibit they liked the most was the butterfly room. Just like Frederik Meijer Gardens they have a room full of butterflies that just fly around. These particular kinds were not native to the area so they were all new to the kids. My favorite was this brilliantly bright blue one on top of the wings but when it sat with its wings closed up it was a dull brown color, and it blended in quite well. Dude loved chasing them around and seeing all the different colors.
The day ended up being a little too hot so after we saw all the grounds we went back to the hotel and swam some more. I think the kids would've honestly been happy enough to stay in the hotel and just swim the entire time! It was amazing though, because we were in the water so much Lucy became more of a confident swimmer and can now swim without any flotation devices! :) Norah became more comfortable with her puddle jumper and can get around the pool by herself now, which was adorable to see.
I think that afternoon G had to go back to the conference and I was going to take the kids to this ice cream place that had a playground inside, but they misbehaved so badly that we ended up having to stay at the hotel, which was much more difficult and way less fun. :( They had a little down time in the hotel room and watched some Sesame Street which they LOVED. We had tried them on it before but they didn't seem too keen, but they thought it was hilarious this time. We haven't had TV in such a long time it was a bit of a shock to see commercials. The kids didn't understand why their show was being interrupted but they got over it rather quickly.
After G got back from the conference we had some dinner and swam some more. Onto day 3!
