Michigan Trip!

Michaela, Megan, and Danny!
A small portion of the sprinkler park they have right down the road.
Kisses!

Here is a pic at the fam get together. We had a great time. Michaela loved her twin cousins, Danny and Megan.
Here are most of the cousins. We missed Steve and the family!
Here are the men at the golf club. They had a great time!

It has been quite a while since I have sat down to fill everyone in on what is going on in the life of the Clardy's. I feel like we have been out of town more than we have been in Columbus for the last several weeks. That may even be the truth! Anyways, we spent the second week in June in Michigan visiting family. We had a wonderful time. This was Michaela's first time to fly commercial and she did exceptionally well. She either slept or looked out the window talking about all the cool things she saw. It was a lot of fun. I especially liked the 2 hour travel time versus about 16 hours driving time! Airplanes are great when you have little ones like Chris and Michaela. I say that because Chris doesn't like spending lots of time in a car. He gets ants in his pants! :) This was our first time to meet my cousin Scott's twin sweeties, Megan and Danny. They are very close in age to Michaela and they had a great time. Unfortunately, Michaela was coming down with something, so she was unusually timid and quiet. If you know my child, you know she is not particularly timid. She is usually a ball of energy. They still had a good time though. They had the neatest park down the street from them. We would practically live there if we were lucky enough to have something like this. They have a community park with the most amazing sprinkler playground. It is free, yet it is more fun for the kids than most any water park I have ever seen. They have the neatest things for families up there.

We stayed at my moms sister and brother in laws house. The have three levels to their house, so Michaela has mastered the art of climbing stairs. Aunt Sandi and Uncle Ed also have two dogs in which Michaela loved to pester! I know she is going to want a dog as soon as she knows how to beg for one. I am trying to hold that off for as long as possible though. I don't want the extra responsibility right now. I would rather add another human to the family first.

We are blessed to have such a wonderful family. I hate it that so much of our family lives so far away, but i am grateful for times in which we can spend together. They are special times.
