BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN MICHIGAN IN SPRING:/// Michigan 4-H Children's Garden, East Lansing
This week we celebrated spring in East Lansing, Michigan!
We went to the 4H Children’s Garden and got to check out butterflies. Awesome time! Educational, entertaining and FREEEE.
Jonah is obsessed. This is a child who watches hours of butterfly and moth formations on YouTube, so he jumped at the chance to get up close and personal with the creatures.
Chris update: He is still living his best life.. a few weeks ago we got a van and he is still loving it. There were picnic benches all over the gardens, but…we ate in the van. After our van lunch, Jonah gave us our very own special “Jonahified’ tour of the outdoor garden. He is convinced there is a hidden key to a little house in the garden. After hours of searching and no dice, we went home.
Insider tip: There is a popular ice cream shop- MSU Dairy down the road. If you go on a weekday the lines are shorter! If you go on a beautiful Sunday like us the lines are out the door. Lol
Let us know are you outraged that The Very Hungry Caterpillar is inaccurate!?
****We would love to hear from you! What do you love to do in the spring?
See you next week!

MSU Garden Train
Found a G-scale Christmas Train ( at a garage sale for $5. Brought it home and painted it for use year round. My nephew and I went down to the MSU 4-H Children's garden track to try it out. It worked great once we swept the leaves off the track.

Finding the Eastside
The Eastside of Lansing, Michigan, is comprised of both typical midwestern style and quaint homes, featuring colorful facades and interesting architectural details. But, it's what's on the inside that counts.
Over 8000 households make up this affordable, friendly, and walkable community. The area is home to younger families and long-time residents who have grown up here, raised their families, and now choose to enjoy their retirement in the neighborhood.
The diversity of the Eastside is a prominent reason for people to choose to live here. Artists and auto workers, medical professionals and graduate students, people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds enjoy a lively mix of ideas, traditions, and lifestyles.
This video was produced by Allen Neighborhood Center, a community development agency located in the heart of the Eastside. Visit our website at allenneighborhoodcenter.org!
