Our second week in Michigan started out with a birthday!! Shane turned five on Monday! Grandma is so thoughtful that she bought Shane a cake! What is really cool is that Shane had wanted a Spiderman cake for his California party, but the store was out of the toy decoration for the Spidey cake. Without knowing that, Grandma Bruinsma ordered Shane the exact Spiderman cake he originally wanted! This was one very happy and excited five year old!
The next week also brought much cooler and more comfortable weather! We were then able to do more outdoor things that we avoided in the 90 degree weather! On Tuesday we visited the John Ball Park Zoo in Grand Rapids. Faith is showing just how large a bald eagle's wingspan is compared to what hers would be!!
Inside the zoo there was a special area to visit that was a giant bird cage. The kids had the opportunity to feed some birds, and Faith was able to lure a bird right onto the stick that she was holding! She was pretty excited about that!
The morning we went to the zoo Shane noticed what Grandpa was wearing. Upon getting dressed he realized he could dress just like Grandpa - blue shirt with orange stripes and khaki shorts! Twins for the day!
Even though it wasn't a necessity to go back to the pool, the kids spent their final afternoon there! It was a great trip as the kids made many wonderful memories, we were all able to enjoy the time not only with my immediate family but also some "cousins" too! They are already talking about the next trip at Christmas when there will be snow on the ground!
Funny how we do the exact same things in GR!
