Jared's cousin, Bryson, got married the second weekend in October and so we sent him on out to be the good cousin that he is and attend the sealing at the Mt. Timpanogos temple. So while he was having a blast in Utah with his family, we decided to drive up to Michigan and visit Johanna and her family. It was fun to see their new house for the first time and it was nice to not be home alone for 4 days :)
The drive wasn't too bad, basically split into two three-hour trips. We stopped at a Chick-fil-a along the way which was great. They had a nice playground, were near an inexpensive gas station (Ohio gas prices are awesome!) and I like their food so I didn't feel sick for the second half of the trip.
The kids had a blast at Aunt Johanna's. We love to see cousins, of course, so that alone was exciting. We got to do a lot of fun things. We went to the apple cider bar and got the delicious apple cider donuts as well. Timmy got to hang out with Conrad in Nursery at church while Lucy hung out with her older cousins during Primary program practice. They even let her speak in the microphone, which is her DREAM. She asks us every week if she can speak in the microphone at church. We went to a corn maze on Saturday and had a lot of fun just playing at the house. We also went to the beach down the road which was really fun, too.
While we were there we went to a farm that had a play zone for kids and a corn maze. Sammy got to snuggle up with me in the Moby for the corn maze and seemed to have a good time :)
This is a cool thing that google's auto back up does for my photos. It makes a little video clip thing when I take a lot of the same picture. I thought it looked cool :) Trying to take a picture of this many kids was an adventure!
Timmy really liked to hide behind this guy. What a cutie.
Aunt Johanna made them some really yummy mexican hot chocolate. As you can tell, Lucy really enjoyed it :)
They also have a really nice beach with a huge playground right in their town. It was fun to let the kids get out and play and have fun and it was just really beautiful there.
Timothy really enjoyed chasing the seagulls.
Lucy and Netta were playing here in the sand with some other kids. Johanna was on the phone with someone and somehow i got this sweet shot of her talking with her hands. We are a very animated family :) hehe.
