Other Michigan highlights

On Friday night we made a bonfire in the backyard and roasted hot dogs and s'mores.

The campfire food was delish and the kids enjoyed roasting their own food. After we put wee ones to bed we stayed up ridiculously late playing games, eating and laughing. I think late night double date nights are one of the best parts of staying with good friends. : )

The next morning the boys got went out canoeing for a little "man adventure date." Taber and Nathan have been close friends since the 2nd grade so it's always fun when they can get together, catch up and good off.

When the boys came back the whole group headed down to Detroit for some sight seeing. I'll admit that most of the sights were a little depressing since a good part of Detroit is run down and abandoned. The river walk was beautiful though and it was fun to see Canada on the other side of the river.

Here are some of the pics we took on the river walk and in front of the GM headquarters.

After our day in Detroit we came back and left the kiddos with a babysitter so we could head out to Ann Arbor for a couple's night out. We found this fabulous Indian cuisine restaurant called Shalimar and ate like kings.

For dessert we stopped at Schakolad chocolate factory and loaded up on caramels, truffles, toffee and of course, chocolate!

I had to throw this picture in at the end because it made me laugh. Taber was taking a pic of me and Brinley on the plane ride home and the dude behind me did bunny ears! So random but funny!

Anyway, the whole trip was tons of fun. We ate A LOT, we played a lot, and had a great balance of family time, kid time, and couples time. I'm so glad we got to go, it will definitely go down in the books as one of the best weekends ever!
