Sea-Doos, Corvettes, and Waterslides, Oh My! (AKA: Our Trip to Michigan)

The boys and I spent five days in Michigan having lots of fun! Between taking a ride in Grandpa's Corvette, riding Aunt Carol and Uncle Dan's Sea-Doo, and taking several trips down the slide into Uncle Doug and Aunt Janet's pool, this may have been the most exciting week of Cameron's life. (And that's not to mention having dessert almost every single day!) Gordon, on the other hand, was somewhat traumatized by the dogs almost everywhere we went, although he warmed up eventually. (Well, mostly. To say that he he is tentative around animals is an understatement; he's terrified of the neighbor's cat for goodness sake!)

Anyhow, here are several photos from our trip . . .

(Click on the photos for a larger view)


Traveling Boys: Cameron and Gordon read the "airplane security manual," as Cameron calls it. The other photo pretty well captures their feelings on traveling; notice the crazed look in Gordon's eyes and Cameron frothing at the mouth.


Our First Day in Michigan: Cameron takes a ride around the block in Grandpa's Corvette. Uncle Matt and Aunt Michelle, along with Great Grandma and Grandpa Simpson (or "The Great Simpsons" as Cameron dubbed them when he was about Gordon's age) come over for dinner.


Our Second Day in Michigan: Cameron and Gordon start out the day with some piano "playing," and we have a great day at Aunt Carol and Uncle Dan's house on the lake. Notice Cameron driving the Sea-Doo all by himself in some of the photos! He also had fun feeding the fish in Uncle Dan's boat house. At one point, Gordon asked Grandpa to sit on his lap, and well, you can check out the photo yourself!


Our Third Day in Michigan: Cameron helps Grandpa with a project. Cameron and Gordon play with their second cousins, Craig and Anna Halliday.


Our Fourth Day in Michigan: Lots of fun at Uncle Doug and Aunt Janet's pool.


Our Last Day in Michigan: A final trip to the lake.
