Visiting Michigan - More Fun

After our camping trip, we spent the rest of the time in Midland at my parent's house.  We took a lot of trips to local parks, spent time with family, did some sewing projects, got some back-to-school shopping done, and had a great time!

Here's a photo of us with my Grandma Sandoval!

Here the girls are playing at the playground/park next to my parent's church!  We also enjoyed slurpees from 7-11 at this park!  There are no 7-11's around here in Wisconsin, so I love getting a slurpee when we are back in Michigan!  Unfortunately, their low-calorie flavor was banana (ick) so I had to splurge and enjoy a nice sugary one!  Yum, yum, yum!!



These photos were taken at a splash park in downtown Midland.  The kids had a fabulous time until Lydia somehow tripped and scratched the top of her pinky toe and ring toe!  So Lydia and I sat in the van watching a movie while Makayla and Grandma finished splashing!  Her sore toe has been a drama since then!  She's only been able to wear flip-flops because she doesn't want a sock or her crocs to touch the sore spot!  Good thing it's almost healed!  She did put a sock on to try on some new shoes yesterday...they were sparkly pink princess shoes!  :)




These photos were taken at Plymouth Park's "fun zone".  Makayla and Grandpa and I biked over one day while Lydia was snoozing!


We always like to play in the boat named Lydia!



These were taken at Emerson Park!  Grandma, Grandpa, the girls, and I all had a picnic lunch!



My Grandma Sandoval (pictured above in this post) gave me a sewing machine that she had in her basement.  It used to belong to my Aunt Ginny, who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago.  I have been thinking about buying one, so it worked out well!  My mom helped me sew pillows and purses for the girls!  It gave me a little refresher on sewing and also helped us figure out how the machine works!  Now I have to figure out what my first project will be...I'm thinking a curtain for the master bathroom!  Below is a photo of us with our sewing projects!  This was a great rainy day project!

On the way home we stopped along Lake Michigan!  Lydia was tired, so she didn't play much at this stop, but Makayla had fun!
