We are home and semi-recovered from our wonderful trip to Michigan! It's hard to believe that it was just two weeks ago tonight that we were double checking that everything was packed and ready to take on our trip!
How cute are these two wheeling their suitcases through LAX? The anticipation and excitement of the trip was so high that they kids were not able to fall asleep at all at home before heading to the airport. And of course all three of them were awake at the airport, so by the time that the plane took off around 1am, all three went right to sleep!
We were greeted in Michigan by very hot and humid weather. So we did what was best and spent quite a few of those first few days swimming at the pool! Now that the kids are getting older, they remember the fun things that we have done previously while in Michigan, and so they really look forward to doing those things again, like going to the pool! Olivia really enjoyed being in the water too, which was fun to see!
To beat the heat one morning we took the kids to the Children's museum. This too is a favorite spot of past trips, so they kids were excited to make a return visit! Shane had fun buying groceries!
Over the weekend Aunt Betsy was able to come up from Chicago to spend time with all of us! On Saturday she went with the kids and Grandpa and Grandma to the Meijer gardens. Everyone came home full of Great Lakes facts!
Batman Shane needed a picture by the beaver!
All three kids loved having Aunt Betsy there for the weekend and wished that she could have spent even more time with us! And of course they loved having Uncle Dave around as he brought over his Wii!
One new thing this summer was basketball! Grandma found some Michigan colored basketballs, and both kids practiced shooting baskets and dribbling! What amazed me is that there was noticeable improvement in their skills over just a few days!
