Michigan

We had a nice trip to Michigan. A long 12 hour drive for only a 2 day stay. Leah was an excellent traveler. I would say an A on the way there and a B on the way home. Coming home had a few difficulties, but primarily because she was tired. On the way there, it would have been perfect, but she will NOT wear headphones to listen to her movies, so I had to listen to DORA! She was quite amazing at keeping herself occupied- I was even able to read a book!

Saturday: We went to Cabela's to feed the fish which she loved. Leah remembered doing this the last time we were there. When we told her we were going to MI to visit Grandpa Shorty, she stated, " I want to feed the fish with Grandpa Shorty." Then we went to the Hotel Waterpark- Splash Universe. She had a great time there, but it she preferred to stay in the toddler pool (8 inches) which had a small slide. She also enjoyed the 2 foot pool and the Lazy River. She would really have nothing to do with the Playground area. She had such a busy day, she almost fell asleep at dinner.

Sunday: We went to visit Grandma Benner and Andy. Aunt Lucille, Uncle Dennis, Aunt Lauren, and Uncle Randy joined us there for a brief visit. Then we went to Aunt Sandy's (Uncle Les was out of town). They have tons of horses. We thought Leah would love to see the horses, but she was a bit hesitant and really did not want to get to close. We finished the day by going to Bronner's- The world's largest Christmas store.

We had a nice visit with Joe's dad. I just can't believe how tired a person can get from a full day of driving- or in my case riding in a car!
