Last weekend the kids and I traveled to Michigan to visit my mom. We were supposed to take the ferry, but got a call at 4:30am saying the waves were too big and the ride had been canceled. I was pretty bummed, as Ingrid had been begging to go on the boat for a long time, and I would much rather have puked for two hours on a bumpy boat than driven the almost 7 hours it ended up taking us...But it was not meant to be, so we packed up the car and took a road trip instead. And honestly, the kids are so good in the car, it wasn't that bad.
We got to my mom's in the afternoon and the kids were free to roam and run and not be in a car. The next morning we started out with a breakfast picnic.
Followed by running in the grass.
The weekend was full of fun things. We visited the horses in the field and at the stables.
We took a paddleboat ride.
We played a lot at the little beach. Ingrid and her cousin played "gardening" for hours, and also "making chocolate milk" both of which were basically making mud.
And no trip to Miss Wendy's is done without a trip to Tiny Town. This place is amazing. It's two little kid sized cabins filled with kid sized furniture and dishes. Ingrid LOVES it there, and Otis had his first chance to play there as well. He seemed to like it but the kid sized dishes are vintage china dishes, so after breaking a cup, it was a small plastic cup for him!
It was a perfect weekend, the only thing better would have been if Brendan could've come with us.
