Sledding

This was from last month, when the boys stayed with Grandma and Pappa, while we were in Chicago. The day we returned they wanted us to watch them sled down the driveway. What Aidan didn't anticipate was sliding all the way to the garage. At the end, Aidan yells, "Oh, my hat!" (grabs hat), "This is Aw...(big breath)...AWESOME!!!"
It was fun to watch.

Memorial Day Weekend

Well, we are heading off to my in-law's (well, technically, my Mother-in-law & Stepfather-in-law) for the weekend. They live in Garden, Michigan. It is a quaint little village; they actually live outside of town close to Fayette State Park. Fayette is a neat place to visit in the Upper Peninsula, best around the 4th of July or in early August during Fayette Heritage Day . In the past they have had tall ships come into the harbor area. They always have an old fashioned baseball game, where interpreters dress up as 19th-century players, plus other historical events and interpretations going on. The organizers do a great job.
My in-laws got a puppy recently, a lab mix of some kind. The boys will enjoy playing with the puppy this weekend. They lost their dog a few years ago and were waiting for the "right" dog to come into their lives. I guess they finally found one. It will be interesting, because we are bringing our dog down to visit too (with in-law's approval, of course). Sasha is a social dog and I think will be a good leader for the puppy.
I must return to packing...have a good weekend. :)
