Springtime Visit to Michigan

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Michigan. We traveled with Nana Lin, Aunt Dani, and Ethan this time, and Sabine was a super traveler. She was helpful in the airport, and watched movies quietly on the plane.

We stayed with Aunt Vicki and Uncle Pat, and as always they were wonderful hosts, and took good care of us. We ate very well!

We also got a lot of good quality time with Great-Grandma Pat, and Sabine quickly remembered her extended family and coerced them into reading to her.

We also managed to meet up with some old friends at the Detroit zoo! B and E used to live in Denver, but recently moved to Michigan, so it was wonderful to get to see them again.

The kids and adults all really had a blast being together again.

We also got to celebrate Great-Grandma Pat's birthday while we were there. Sabine entertained us all with her dramatic flower play (Daddy is a good sport at picking squirmy, 32 lb flowers over and over):



And we enjoyed Great-Grandma Pat's cake very much.

We also played many, many rounds of Go Fish, recruiting various players at different times.

Playing well into the night.

It was a really fun trip, and wonderful to see all the family!

We made one last stop at the Big Boy restaurant, which is something of a familial icon, before heading on to the airport.

A beautiful trip, altogether.
