Owen's fun overnight

Yesterday my sister called and said that she was going to be working at a convention at a museum in Detroit on saturday and staying at The Henry on Friday night. She asked if Owen might be able to go with her and hang out. We asked him and naturally he said yes.

She sent these pictures last night. When they checked into the hotel they were upgraded to a suite. He kept telling her it is the fanciest room he has ever been in.


Hanging out in the bed.


She said the bathroom had three rooms, a sitting/changing room, a stand up shower room and a bathtub room. Owen kept telling her "uncle John should have come here!" Later in the night when he went in the bathroom he said, "sweet! Two things of toilet paper....nice!!!"


The pool was open until 11.....she said they had it all to themselves and he was freaking out. Which you can totally see in this picture.


And of course they ordered room service, PB and j with the crust cut off. He ordered fruit as his side and had a peanut butter cookie and milk for dessert. He wanted to save the rest of his cookie and "fancy milk" (it was in a Starbucks cup) to show his classmates. He said he is going to tell them that he got to stay at The Henry.


Playing Go Fish.





At the breakfast buffet this morning.


Wow was he sure spoiled or what?!!

Cider mill

After we picked O up from school today we headed to a local cider mill for some donuts and fresh cider. While there we decided to pick some apples so that Kris can get busy in the kitchen.


Owen loved the pumpkin cinnamon donuts the most.


Wy loved all of them....he's our "try anything" kid.


Me and the hubs.


Wy man checking out all the pumpkins.


Brothers.


Being goofy.

Paddle boarding/fishing

The past few days we have been having fun using the paddle boards and fishing. I went out on Thursday with my sister and her friend and enjoyed a peaceful day on the lake with no kids.

And then yesterday we went out again and took the boys. It was so fun and relaxing.


Wy did so good for the majority of the time but then decided he wanted to get on the kayak with kris.


And lucky for him....he was able to see kris catch this big big fish!!


Afterwards we went to light off some model rockets at the nearby elementary school. It was super fun watching those rockets fly. Unfortunately both of the rockets got caught in trees and we weren't able to retrieve them.


But it was a fun Friday night. That's for sure!

Thanks for stopping by!
