It's a Dog's Life: Kids' trips in Michigan

Max and Micaela went up north to Michigan to visit our grandma and family last week, but I didn't go there. My parents brought my cousins, Corey and Joshua. They are staying with us for 2 weeks. (Hey Lisa, can your boys stay here for one more week, please? If not, I will act like Max did when he had to leave. I thought I am still your little girl so you could let boys stay so they'd have a blast time, Smile!) I miss my kids, Max and Micaela and it was great to see them. Of course, I'm excited for Corey and Joshua to spend time with us. Nancy transferred pictures to my memory stick. So, I'm loading some pictures. Oh, I need to talk about my grandma a little bit. She is doing good, but her mind is not good and she can't see well. She is 82 years old. She is the only grandparent I have left.

When my family arrived my grandma's property, Joshua was pushing Max exciting!

Micaela loves the purple car as her favorite color. Joshua and Micaela love each other. He was so good to her.

That's my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Lori. Hey Aunt Lori, do you miss me giving you a hard time? I love picking on you. I heard that you had back surgery. Hope you will be able to get healed real soon.

That's my Uncle Chuckie, Max and Aunt Karen. Chuck, I hope you are healing from your hip.

At my cousin's step sister Nicole's house, Nicole has an old beautiful house. I want to see a picture of it, but Nancy didn't get any picture. On the front row, Max and Nicole's daughters, Madison and Riann. Joshua stood in the back of the front row.

My 2nd cousin, Hunter who is my baby cousin Justin's son, and Hunter's mother.

Cool pool and fun to play inside the hotel in Frankenmuth, Michigan next to Bonner's where is one of the huge Christmas shopping store in the world.

Joshua, you are so good looking!

Lazy River to float and relax...

Corey smiled and flirted with that cute girl, but she said "No, leave me alone and I'm leaving now!"

Scary slide? When you enter the tunnel, it gets dark while you are sliding thru the tunnel. Max was very brave to slide thru it. After four times he slides, Joshua tried to slide and not to be fear of it at the first time. After that, he loved it!

Corey and Max had a blast time together!

Nancy and Micaela sliding together. Micaela was scared, but kept quiet when getting out of the tunnel. She didn't say anything until she clapped her hands when seeing Max.

Nancy screamed and waved in a loud hurray! But Aunt Lisa was scared to death.

Showing off with boys' muscle except Max?

Hey Lisa! are you happy with this picture to be on my blog? Sorry, I can't help taking candid pictures of you because I love you and I'm still your little girl.

Max was so sad about leaving Michigan because he misses everyone in our family there. Max, are you excited about Corey and Joshua joining you for 2 1/2 weeks? I bet you are!

Max was telling a story. Nancy, do you remember what he said?

Laughing after telling a joke!

That's my sweet grandma with Micaela and my dad smiling at a picture. Micaela first met my grandma and she is the youngest grandchild and I'm the oldest one.
