Michigan Trip

Joey, Kate and I flew to Michigan this past weekend to introduce Kate to her "Great Grammie", who will be 93 in December. We were a little nervous about the flight -- we weren't sure how Kate was going to handle the plane ride, but she was a pro! She fell asleep before take off on the departing flight and was a little handful on the way home -- a little restless and wanted to visit with the people in front of us and behind us! But all in all she did great! :)

On Thursday, we celebrated my mom and brothers birthdays with a family dinner and on Friday, we took Kate to Yates Cider Mill in Rochester Michigan. Matt (my brother) and I were so excited to take Joey, Kate and Matt's girlfriend Bonnie for fresh apple cider and doughnuts. I have to say when we got there we were a little disapointed -- mostly because it wasn't exactly the way we remembered it from when we were little. There were very few petting zoo animals, and we saw very little of the Cider Press, but the cider and doughnuts were still awesome and well worth the trip! We took lots of great pictures near the river and got to see lots of the fall foilage! On Saturday, Kate met her second cousin, Brady, who is two. They played together quite nicely at Grammie's.
