{Michigan on a whim}

Last Minuet we decided to go to Michigan
for Rod's Grandmother's 80th Birthday Bash!
We went to the party, a park, a pool & a cookout just to name a few of the big events.

It was a busy weekend, but in the end we are glad we went.
We don't see the Sclater side nearly enough as they are far from us.
we hope it wont be another 5 years.

Some Michigan snacks we made sure to have...
Coney Dogs of course...
