Mid-Week Michigan Trip

I have to say taking a day off in the middle of the week really makes the week go by faster and it is a really nice break. There is a long story behind the extra day off, but in a nut shell, I have 5 personal days I need to take before the end of the month or I'll just lose them. With that said, I decided to join my mom, bring Sam along, and make a day trip to Michigan I see my family.

Our first stop was to visit my grandma. My grandma is now home, so we stopped her house to visit for a quick visit. I'm glad she's home and is feeling a little better.

After leaving my grandma's, we were off to my grandpa's farm to spend some time with him.


The weather was so nice that Sam and I went for a long walk down the property. We walked at least mile before we didn't have a path to walk on anymore, so we turned around. 

My mom's family has a tradition of meeting at a local lake for swimming and cook out every Wednesday night during the summer months. So we decided to join in on the fun considering we were already in the area.


I love when I get a chance to spend time with my extended family because sometime you do feel a little disconnected living 2 states away.

The major of our time was spent talking and letting a 9 month old entertain us.


 I can't believe how big Sophia has gotten. The last time I really got to see and spend time with her is when she was a newborn.


There was no holding of Sophia this time around. 1. She had way to much energy to sit still  2. She not a big fan of people she doesn't know.


However, she had no problem stealing my water bottle from me and using it as her own toy. It was pretty funny, she just kept doing laps up and down the picnic table and we were there just to make sure she didn't fall off. It was a game of  "Catch the Baby".

I'm so glad that I got to see so many family members in just one day. And I'm also glad that Sam decided to come along for the ride.  However, it won't be long until I get to see some of my family again, because I think a another Michigan trip maybe planned for tomorrow. My uncle Jerry from Florida is up visiting my grandma and I haven't seen him in about 5 years, so I think a trip to see him is in order.

I hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
