Family Vacation 2009! Part 2

Wednesday- We had a fun day just hanging out being together. The kids played in the backyard alot. Ava & Miles had a fun time playing in the little playhouse. I've got to find one of these somewhere- Ava loved it!

We got to visit Sophie's school, and walk home with grumpy kids- thank goodness for popsicles- they fixed everything.

Thursday- that morning we were home and the kids had fun playing together. Ava loved playing with all the girl toys everywhere. Here's Nora & Owen playing in a cool hut Brian built for them-

Then we went to see Michigan State University. It is a beautiful, huge campus. We saw the bell tower, where a real person is inside making the music-

We visited a statue of the Spartan mascot-

We also got to see Brian's office, a cool river that goes through campus, the ice hockey rink, some bunnies that live in the bushes on campus, some squirrels and finished with some yummy ice cream. Owen & I got the Spartan ice cream that is vanilla ice cream with cake & green frosting inside- yummy, it was sooo good.

Then we had a picnic in the backyard-

Later that afternoon we went to Hawk Island Park. The park was awesome. It had a splash pad, next to a playground & a little lake. Nora especially was crazy excited for the splash pad.



After playing on the splash pad for a while we went down the lake shore-


Ava loved walking back and forth on the sidewalk that was covered in water until she fell off. Luckily I was right there, pulled her out and she was fine.

That was so much fun. I am still regretting that I didn't get my usual ice cream flavor (the Spartan one) It is truly the best! I don't even remember what flavor I DID get so it must not have been that great. Can't wait to see and hear about your race!!
