Botanical Gardens, Scrappy and a Night Out - 169/365

Today, Nana and I decided to head up to the Cleveland Botanical Garden to check out the Nature Connects Exhibit. We stopped first to check out the new Janie and Jack line and to have some lunch at Brio! YUM!
We got to the garden and as soon as you walked in, you saw legos! They had a huge bee right over where you enter, it was so cool! 
The rest of the exhibits were scattered all over the garden. It was kind of like a treasure hunt. FUN! They had a huge rose, lawn mower, finch feeder, hummingbirds, bison, fox, fish, gardener and many more. The sculptures were just fascinating how someone could put it all together. It was such a fun afternoon wandering around the garden. I think all our favorite was the hummingbird.
Later this evening, Jim, Reagan and I were going to meet Grandma and Papa Greg at the Scrappers game. Reagan was going to spend the night with Nana and Papa. 
They were calling for late afternoon storms and the sky kept getting blacker as we were on our way. Luckily, a kid was giving away free tickets while we were walking through the parking lot, so we gladly took those. We went in and wandered around waiting to see if the game would start. It started to downpour and the radar had no signs of stopping. Greg and Nikki went over to Firebirds at the mall to get an appetizer while they waited out the storm. Jim and I asked if we could head over there and come back in, should the game go on and they said, under the circumstances, it wouldn't be a problem.
We went over there and chatted with them for awhile and had a nice time. Soon enough, we heard the the game was cancelled. 
Since the game was cancelled, we decided to go downtown and meet a couple of Jim's college buddies at Suzies' Dogs and Drafts. We met, Joe John and Ryan and had a fun night catching up!
We had a few drinks at Suzies, then headed down the street to Martini Brothers to have a couple sandwiches. We were all pretty hungry. The food was excellent!
We ended up having a pretty fun evening! 
Reagan had a fun night with Nana and Papa! They played around the house and made an animal hospital our of her doll house and even watched Frozen! They had a great time!
