Michigan Trip Part One
Now that we've been home for two weeks, I'm finally getting these pictures posted. The boys were pretty much angels during the whole thing, which is remarkable. I was so worried they wouldn't be very flexible.
This was Carson's first airplane ride, so it was pretty exciting. Here they are at the airport, Spencer of course trying to steer Carson's head in the right direction to see the planes. He enjoyed his first flight. He was very good and when we landed, he giggled heartily all the way down. Actually, it was a good, deep belly laugh and people all around us were laughing at him laughing. It was great!
Grandpa R. met us at the airport. He and Spencer held hands on the way out to the car. It was so cute. I wish I had a picture of that, but I was too busy trying to carry all the "stuff."
Here are my two tired little teddy bears. I wasn't sure they would sleep if we put them in the same bed, but they did very well. After viewing this scene, I was glad I didn't have to sleep with Carson!
I turned him around and covered him up again, and then he snuggled right up to Spencer like this.
We went with Grandpa to the Frederick Meijer gardens. The boys enjoyed the butterfly exhibit.
There was also a kids' garden with lots of fun play equipment and stuff to see and do.
Spencer will be a frog in his next life.
We spent some time at Andy's family homestead. Here are all my cuties in the woods behind the house. Andy said he got a little teary seeing his little guys at the house--"another generation...." (He cries over "Extreme Home Makeover" too!)
We had a lovely walk in the woods. Spencer and I heard all kinds of frogs in the swampy area, but we couldn't see any. Next time we're going to bring galoshes so we can get out there and catch some! If you don't stay on the trail, you have to hash through the bushes, as you see here. Spencer leaned over and came up without his hat!
This is classic Andy, leaping toward us in the meadow.
