Big weekend! On Friday, Mom, Dad and I traveled to Lansing for Mom's annual Grove Street get-together. Mom couldn't get over how times have changed. In attendance Friday night - Karyn and Charlie, Kerri, Jen, Sue, Andy, Linda, Everett and Willa - and Andy's two brothers. 12 people spent the night. Four were under the age of 3. It was a busy house!
It was the first time I met . . .
Auntie Sue
Auntie Jen
Andy and Everett,
And Charlie.
Who blew me kisses.
And who I watched have breakfast in a big-boy high chair.
On Saturday morning, the "no kids" crew - Jen, Kerri and Sue - headed out at 7 a.m. to secure a tailgating spot. As a reward, they were featured in the Detroit News online slideshow. (Wearing the hats mom gave them as shower thank you gifts.)
We showed up a few hours later. Me in the green and white Grandpa Bob secured at the shower.
Dad wore a silly hat.
As did Mom.
And Everett enjoyed Mom's Bloody Mary.
Stir stick.
We lasted about 2 hours, then headed back to the house to watch the game.
The dad's were in charge.
A win for the Spartans.
And then we rested.
It was a good time.
And I can't wait for next year.
