michigan

we took a little trip this week.

to visit my mom, step-dad and brother



the kids and i took my grandma with us

besides just wanting to visit them

 

we also wanted to see a few of my brother's baseball games

since he had a make-up double header along with a regular season game

we were able to see 4 games

since my van wasn't running right



we took my grandma's suv

this is how the kids looked

all squished in the backseat

they're used to having their own space

the ride up was a little touch and go

but, the ride home was perfect

 

we had an absolute blast

 

cheering on this guy

 

hard to believe he is 16

that's how old i was when he was born

 

the kids had fun playing at the playground beside the field


they made a bunch of new friends

 

and i was able to see the game and watch them

 

so everyone was happy

after the games we got to hang out with uncle nick

 

the kids LOVE him

 

i wish we lived closer

 



and i'm praying he chooses to attend college at the u of iowa--we're only an hour away!!!!

but, for now, i'll take what i can get!  a 7 hour drive isn't that bad!

thanks mom, dave and uncle nick for having us!
