The underwear Ninja's

We spent our weekend on the go.  Jason was asked to preach in Detroit, and we decided to join him as he traveled.  We try not to miss out on any opportunity to enjoy a swimming pool at a hotel.  It is such a treat for the kids!  Friday, we left Traverse City around lunch time and drove to the Detroit area.  Most of the afternoon was spent driving, but the children were troopers and handled it well knowing that the day would end with a swimming pool!
     Saturday morning we had a few hours prior to the church service that Jason was scheduled to preach at, so we made our way to Greenfield village.  Greenfield village is a tourist attraction that is basically an old village.  We didn't have much time, but we thought Micah especially would enjoy it.  He loves"old timey" things, his Kindergarten teacher referred to him as a little old man in a little boys body.  We didn't have much time at Greenfield village, but the kids did have the opportunity to see horses plowing a field, watch a glass blowing demonstration, ride the 90 year old carousel, visit the round house, and best of all...take a ride in an old model T.  The ride in the Model T made Micah's day.  he was thrilled!
     After Jason preached, we high tailed it home and had the fun opportunity to have a slumber party at Grandma Shoemaker's house.(We are selling our home, and we had three showings this weekend!  Jason had to preach on  Sunday as well...and the last thing I wanted to do while trying to get ready for church on Sunday was to clean the house for a showing.  So, Grandma let us stay at her house so that it would remain clean for the showings!  Thank you mom!)  The boys really enjoyed staying at Grandma's house!

     We went to church at St. Micheal's this morning because Jason was preaching for a 50 anniversary celebration for a pastor who serves at that church.  So, our Sunday morning was different than normal...which is always a little exhausting.  When we made it home this evening, we were all ready for a little down time.  I told the boys that if they went and put their PJ's on, we would snuggle up and watch a movie together before bedtime.  They were thrilled...they hustled to their rooms...and this is how they returned.  I guess sitting in the car for 9+ hours does strange things to my children!  I would like to introduce you to the Underwear Ninjas
