A Trip to "Grandpa's Farm"

The kids started to get a little wild after 3 days and we decided it was time for a road trip. So we headed 2 hours north of Detroit to Frankenmuth AKA “Michigan's Little Bavaria” The town is most known for Bronners, the world's largest Christmas Store, but we found a darling working farm that allows the kids to touch and hold most of the animals.

The darling “Bavarian” McDonalds still gives the “old fashion” happy meal boxes that Mommy and Daddy had when we were kids. This was a real treat for our kids...as we usually make them order something off of the $1 menu and give them water to drink...but since this was a special place we treated the kids to Happy Meals!

Visit to Grandpa and Grandma's

We took the kids to see Grandpa and Grandma Donaldson in Michigan. The kids did great on the plane ride and the boys enjoyed toting their own backpacks through the airport, onto the plane, back off of the plane, all the way to the car waiting for us when we arrived.

One of the first things the boys wanted to do was to go see Grandpa's airplane that he built. They can't wait until they are old enough to "fly high in the sky with Grandpa!"

Grandma and Grandpa also have a great collection of toys that their daddy used to play with. The boys are pictured with toy planes their daddy played with as a boy.

We also caught up with some of Gordon' s friends, wives, and kids....for a great party. As I was visiting in the kitchen, I looked outside to see my 18 month old Diva scaling up the rock wall in her Zebra bathing suit!
