Sam's bday...Michigan con't

Poppie and Trey napping

Nana, Claire and Mayson

We heard on the radio about a rubber ducky race in Kalamazoo while we were there. Since Mayson loves ducks we thought it would be something cool to do. It was fun to watch even if our duckies didn't win but it was for charity so that was an added bonus. Mayson did get upset for a little while when they dropped all the ducks in the water. Mayson wasn't too sure about getting her face painted.

Sam's 35th birthday was while we were in Michigan. 35 is his favorite number and the number he used in athletics in high school and college. So I made a big deal with the number 35 from the cake to the balloons to the t-shirts the kids and I wore. We had a small surprise party for him.

35 madness

My masterpiece

More hanging in Michigan, we spent lots of time outside, especially swinging. Trey is in Nana's pedicure bowl in her nail salon. All the kids like to bathe in it.

Kalamazoo, Michigan has an air museum called the AirZoo. It's a really neat place it has everything from hotair balloons to space shuttles and everything air related in between. There were several little rides Mayson loved. The hot air balloons, planes and Zero G were her favorites, she did them several times each.


Here is a video of her first time on the Zero G it's a little long
