Visiting Grandma Connie in Michigan

We just got back from a nice vacation to Michigan. We spent time with Grandma Connie, went up North to see Jon's mom and sister and their families, went to my grampa's cottage, and then ran all over the Detroit area visiting our friends. It was so great to see everyone! We took a ton of pictures, so the ones that I didn't post on the blog can be found in this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/robertahorne1/MITrip_May2009?authkey=Gv1sRgCNfN--LDiobh8gE&feat=directlink





Here is Avery with Gramma Connie by the lake....





Avery was so excited to get to go swimming in her new Dora swim ring....




The first night we arrived there was a carnival near my mom's house. Avery was so excited!!

Avery's first carnival game. Every kid is a winner...

Here she is on her first ride. She LOVED this train!

And the swings were fun too!

Since we spent so much time in the car driving all around the Detroit area that week, we also visited a lot of playgrounds to wear her out...

My mom had her sister and 2 brothers and their families who live in MI over to visit one day. It was so nice to see everyone!

After everyone left, uncle Nick taught Avery some card tricks...

Avery loved going on a boat ride!!

And here is Avery on her first canoe trip. Thanks Linda for the life jacket...she kept quoting Dora "lifejackets, so we can be safe!"...

Here are some good shots of Avery with Grampa Bob and Gramma Connie. She misses you guys already!
