My in-laws live on a hill that is one of the highest points in the county so you can see for miles.
My father-in-law has a motorcycle and the kids got kick out of playing with the helmets.
All the fresh country air and the playing hard wore out GQ. At one point he went upstairs grumping all the way and passed out.....all on his own!
Look at that sweet boy!
We also went to the zoo with some friends! It was so good to see them! The kids had a blast and the weather was very conducive to outside time at the zoo!
This is Lochie. He resides at the zoo now but was part of an art thing around town a few years ago.
This was our first time seeing Lochie in person.
They had a bird cage you could go inside. You could buy sticks of bird feed and some of the birds would land on you. The boys got a kick out of it.
Doc always climbing.
They had a petting zoo area. Doc and GQ went in to pet some of the goats.

After the zoo we drove past our old house because the boys wanted to and stopped at our old daycare providers house. The kids played with her son and we caught up a little bit. She closed down her daycare recently so she sent us with a whole box of Thomas trains. The kids love them! Mr. X's old school is just a block away from our daycare provider's house so we walked over there so he could see some of his old teachers. He loved the people at that school and they love him to death! They miss him and light up so much when he visits. It's really great to see them invest so much in the kids they work with. Mr. X was able to see his old Kindergarten teacher, art teacher, principle, school nurse, secretary.
Mr. X fixing the putty on the calendar. This was a regular thing for him to do in his old kindergarten class.
Doc and GQ playing with the trucks that Mr. X use to gravitate to. His teacher said he would sit and play with those all day if she would've let him.
We spent time with WB's brothers and their wives. We got to see his brother's new house. The kids got to play with their cousin. Overall it was a great visit!
Our trip back to FL was not so great. The kids were cranky and tired but yet didn't sleep. We got on the road at 1:30 am hoping to be home by 9-10 pm. An hour down the road we got a flat tire. Poor WB unloaded the entire trunk to get to the spare and put it on. We spent the next hour or so trying to find someone to fix the flat but of course nobody would at 3-4 am. So we drove on the spare for a good 4 hours before we were able to get the flat fixed. That put us way behind schedule and we hit some not so great traffic. It took us 25 hrs to get home instead of 19! It was not a fun day. That said, the time in MI was worth it and I imagine we will do it again. :)
