Trip to Michigan/Ohio

The kids and I spent last week on the road, visiting my grandma in Ohio and then spending the rest of the week in Michigan with my parents, and Tony, Jen, and Gwen. It was a lot packed into a week, but it was good family time. Plus, Buddy's Pizza and Bumpy Cake for my birthday!

Visiting Grandma/Great-Grandma

Chef & Chef-in-Training (per their matching aprons) making pancakes

Ben and Uncle Tony playing Ben's baseball game. Tony probably kept him slightly more honest on the score than he usually is when playing solo!

Ben & Papa setting up Ben's new telescope

Elizabeth trying out her new owl backpack

Bumpy Cake for my birthday! Ben was proud that he helped by putting the candles in correct order.

Elizabeth had fun with a motorized bike and a trike borrowed from Gwen.

Ben did great on this borrowed bike sent from Uncle Bill.
