The Big Park in Michigan

Ok, so I'm a total slacker.... yes, I still have pictures from Michigan to post.

I don't even know what day this way, i think Sunday, the day after the reception. We all wanted to take Christopher to the park by the house, but someone mentioned the bigger park (sorry family, I can't remember the name, we are lucky I remember it was Sunday). We headed over and wow, this place was cool.

It was made out of that fake wood that people use for their decks which meant there were no chances of splinters. Yeah!

Amazing right? And there weren't that many kids which was nice.

We let go and off he went!

He loved everything, had to try everything, especially the slides.

Even Grandma got into the fun

See, trying everything...

The wobbly thing :)

The wobbly bridge thing

He even got to steer the boat/ship/thingy?

He was very into this one.

(See, toe-head and sunshine don't mix... big ol' bright spot)

He may not look like it, but he was having fun...

Love this shot

Then it was on to the big kid side with the big slide.

First time down with daddy...

And then he couldn't get up there fast enough to go again...

And again...

Yeah, he loved this one.

And again... (I think it was the bump in the middle, new for him)

And again...

Daddy, waiting for Christopher to make his maniac run up for another go at the slide.

Daddy!!!

I think he was a little confused here.

Then the boys went to walk the "map". The park has to cool grass area shaped and outlined like the United States. So they went over to California and walked to Michigan, then down to Florida...

Hello from Michigan!

He's off to Disney world!

I even got a shot of Grandpa Wing going down the slide!

And Grandma Wing???

And this was the end of the trip, so the best shot I got.

Some videos

Going down the slide:

And the big slide. He is trying to go down so quick then look at his smile after. Priceless, really.

Better than flying. California to Michigan

Overall, we had a blast. Christopher crashed on the way home and had a lot of fun.

Boating

The Monday after the reception, Grandma and Grandpa Wing took us up north for the day to the lake and to go on the boat. Christopher has never been on a boat before so we knew we'd have fun.

We got him all lathered in sunscreen, bundled him up in his lifevest, added his hat and off we went. He was great. We hung out on Great Grandpa's party boat until the guys had the boat ready. Then we hopped on and took off.

He looks a little nervous here but I think it was more that the vest was uncomfortable...

He played with a few toys, then suddenly...

out...

Who can blame him. It was beautiful out, the rhythm of the boat on the water....

Then we headed back and he got some bedtime reading with Grandpa.

I think he almost dozed here....

Family time

Sunday, we spent at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Eating, opening wedding gifts and just hanging out in general. Christopher was able to spend some time with his cousin Elli who he seemed smitten with.

He kept calling her baby

And perhaps a little confused...

Elli loved my camera...

Then Christopher decided to read to her

Once Janelle and Mike started opening gifts. Christopher went into overdrive on clean-up. I don't understand. He loved helping with the trash, lol.

Or playing with it...

I know this is out of focus, but I love the photo...

Then outside for some play time

I've never had so much luck with him keeping his hats on.

And then inside to open wedding cards. Which Christopher decided he HAD to be a part of.

AND that he had to have ALL the money

Mabel napped

I love this shot. he's so excited, the hat flies off...

The pied-piper of dogs

Cousins...

Trash boy

Money Money!
