We had a great time with Todd's side of the family on a trip last week. First we stopped in Toledo, where we attended the Lucas County Fair with Grandma Karen and returned to the Toledo Zoo for a visit with Dora and, of course, our favorite animals. Then we went on to Michigan's Irish Hills area, where Papa Norm and Grandma Sheila have a cottage on a lake. We were treated to boat rides and trips to the state park, where Emma enjoyed the beach by building sand castles and ducking her head underneath the waves. She also loved jumping off the dock at the cottage! We also took a trip to The Cascades in Jackson, Michigan, where a 5-tiered, man-made waterfall flashes lights in time to music. Since we went on family night, Emma also got a balloon, face painting (complete with glitter!), and a picture with Aladdin and Jasmine. Back in Toledo at the end of the week, we visited with Karen's side of the family, who were visiting from North Carolina, Dayton, and Texas, so needless to say, it was a special visit. Emma enjoyed the trip so much that when we told her we were heading home on Sunday, she replied, "Can I stay here at Grandma's just a little bit longer?!"
