Trip to Michigan with the Big Kids!

Cubby had a client up in Detroit to visit and so he used some of his frequent flyer miles and brought the big kids along to visit Grandma and Grandpa Lindseth.  They were just a tad excited!  And, even though their planes got delayed a LOT (they were supposed to get in at 11 pm Easetern Time, but didn't get in until 1 am!) they were quite the troopers...  

 But, the after effects became evident as soon as they got into the car!

 The next day, Emily and Christian were so excited because their cousins drove into town from Buffalo to hang out and play!

 One of the places they visited had a big Thomas the Tank Engine statue.  NON of the kids would pose by it...so Cubby did instead!

 They weren't, however, too proud to do lots of other silly poses.

 The kids also showed Uncle Peter the world of Minecraft.  Oi.

 They also had fun just hanging around, putting coins on the train tracks to be flattened later that day, rolling down hills, and playing at the park.  Also on the agenda was a visit to the Henry Ford museum.  The kids all liked going there and making candlesticks, candles, and writing with old-fashioned ink.

 Not really sure what Christian was eating, but he apparently enjoyed it.

Then, it was time to come home again...with more delays...these kids were BEAT.  (Both ended up sleeping in quite a bit the next day, hence, being able to go with me to Kari's preschool program, the next day.)  Poor Christian also ended up with strep later that week...yup, the kid just gets sick if he parties too hard.

They all had such a great time though!  Cubby even got to be with his mom on Mother's Day and was there to help bless Aunt Tessa's baby girl, Payton.  It was a wonderful opportunity for all of them to be together.
