Our Trip to Michigan

The week before we went to Michigan, Mom, Dana, and Maleena went to Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.






Kaleb gets Aunt Dana to chase him.
We went to Lake Michigan and got Kaleb to go IN! He wasn't too sure at first, but his love of the water took over.

I just love this picture of Maleena. It looks like she's doing Tai Chi or something LOL
Bad to the bone? Well... he IS 2 now LOL So I guess this look is appropriate for his age.

Dana, Maleena, and I had a girls' afternoon out at Craig's Cruisers. We played some mini golf. It was Maleena's first time mini-golfing. She did VERY well. Even though on one hole her ball went off the green and into the water and Dana got stuck in a fence trying to retreive it. (I have a picture, but I thought I'd be nice and not post it)
After mini-golf, we went on the bumper boats.
After our girls' day out, we headed to Dana's for a cookout & swimming.
Maleena reads a story to Kaleb. She has gotten so good at reading!
Maleena made a little house out of a box at Grandma's before we came to visit. Kaleb had a lot of fun with it. He had a lot of fun with Maleena too.

I love this picture of Maleena & Grandma together. It would only be better if Otis hadn't tried to get into it! LOL

On Saturday, we went to Kady & Matt's wedding. Their ceremony was at the same little park where Karl and I got married. And they had a BEAUTIFUL day for their wedding. I'm so happy for them. They are also expecting their first baby!

MY GIRLS - (L-R) Kady, Taylor, and Lacey. Kady was just 8 weeks old when I started babysitting for them. Lacey was 2. And Taylor wasn't even thought of yet. *sigh*.... I feel so OLD.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay at the reception very long. Kaleb was getting too upset with the clapping and cheering.
We got him away from the main room for a little bit. He was loving this video game, even though it wasn't even plugged in. LOL



Kaleb helped me take this nice picture of Karl.
I love this one of Dana & Maleena.
Mom, Me, and Kaleb.
Rich, Maleena, Dana, Mom, Kaleb, and Me.
Dana, Mom, and Me. (Do ya get the feeling I'm gonna need a lot of picture frames?)





Rich, Maleena, Dana, and Chico.

Somebody LOVES his Daddy.
