This last week has been so wonderful. Last Friday, Shawn, Abigail, and I all flew to Las Vegas where we promptly rented a car and drove to Aunt Connie and Uncle Joe's house so they could meet me and Abbie. It was a blast and we even got to meet Shawn's cousin Tony and his wife Nikki. Tony and Shawn used to get into all kinds of mischief when they were little and Shawn would go and spend the summers in Vegas with his grandma and grandpa. The two boys had fun regaling each other with stories of their past and catching up on what had happened since they were last together. Connie and Joe were wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed spending the night and the following morning with them. Then we went to get JayJay and went off to get some lunch and to visit the pawn shop from the show Pawn Stars. It was fun but not quite as cool as the show makes it out to be. Then it was off to Uncle PJ's for a family barbecue with Aunt Elena and johnny and nick. Lil Sam also came to see her great granddaughter and that was wonderful. We spent the evening eating great food and relaxing in the pool and hot tub with Shawn's family. Next it was time for Abigail and me to fly to Michigan bright and early at 6am.
The flight was uneventful and we both slept about three of the four hours of the flight, which was nice. It was awesome to see ggma and ggpa waiting for us and then we were off to Fenton for a week of fun. We went to Aunt Lori and Uncle Brad's for dinner and even spent some time at an apple orchard. At the orchard Abigail got to see goats, lambs, ducks, geese, turkeys, and a rabbit. She played in a giant barn full of corn and walked in a sandbox with ggpa. After some fun at the farm we went into the little shop and got fresh apple cider and homemade donuts. Abigail loved both and fell asleep as soon as we put her in the car. The next day we went to find a Halloween costume and found an adorable carebear suit but will have to do a
Bit more looking before we make a final decision. We then went out to lunch with Darlene at coney island and she gave Abbie the coolest book ever. The book is called The Tickle Monster and comes with gloves that the reader wears to tickle the kiddo. We also went to the Steck's house for dinner and had a blast hanging out with them and Abbie fell in love with these two tiny green pillows she carried around. So funny. Today we went to meet all the employees in ggpa's office and then went to lunch with ggpa. They served homemade macaroni and cheese that was sinful and Abigail loved her pizza. Tomorrow we fly out, but beforehand we are going to hopefully go to the Aplle Festival in Fenton so Abbie can ride a pony, per ggma's request. Then we are going to meet up with Shawn's maternal grandfather Carmen and his wife Nancy. This is yet another great grandparent Abigail has and we are excited to meet him. This has been the best trip and we wish we lived closer!!!!!
