We flew in on Thursday night. We stayed with our friends, Nancy and Kerry. They took such good care of us! Mrs. Nancy was very excited to have me staying at her house. She had all kinds of treats for me - yogurt, juice, animal cracker, goldfish crackers... It was almost like being at Grannie's house! And they have a staircase at their house. Boy, did I have a great time climbing up and down the stairs! I had no problem going up, but I wasn't sure about how to get down. Mrs. Nancy showed me how, and I learned really quickly. Mommy and Daddy chased me up and down the stairs a lot!
We met up with our friends, Uncle Eric, Aunt Amy, and Kayla. (If they look familiar, it's because they visited us here in Louisiana in April!) We met them at a big mall. We rode the carousel and got to ride the rides and play games at Jeepers (sort of like a Chuck E. Cheese, but without the animated shows). It was fun!
Mommy and Aunt Amy took Kayla and me on the carousel!
Kayla and I rode the train - it was fun!
I missed Kayla, so I gave her kisses while we rode the fire truck together.
Daddy showed us how to play a game.
We got tickets each time we rolled the ball!That evening, we had dinner at Mr. Kerry's and Mrs. Nancy's house. Fr. Mike joined us there. We had a great time visiting. It was a beautiful evening, so we sat out on the back deck for a while. They have pretty flowers on their deck. Mr. Kerry even found a wooden chair just my size!
Saturday morning we went to visit our old neighbors, Mr. Steve, Mrs. Jen, Stephanie, and Samantha. I had lots of fun playing with Stephanie and Samantha.
Stephanie is 3 years old, and Samantha is 10 months old. We had lunch with Adriana, Mommy's former little sister through Big Brothers/Big Sisters. It was great to see her, too! That evening, we went to Mr. Paul's and Mrs. Judy's house for dinner. Also at dinner were Mr. Kenneth and Mrs. Erika, Ms. Cheryl, and Mr. Greg, Mrs. Teresa, and Erin. Erin is seven months old.
Erin and I had a great time playing together!
Ms. Cheryl gave me a Red Wings jersey for my birthday!(I think she felt bad because Mommy and Daddy made me wear one
that was way too big for me! I think I look pretty darn cute in it, don't you!?)
Sunday we went to Mass at the Cathedral and saw all of our friends there. We were especially excited to see my "Detroit Grannies", Mrs. Marcella and Mrs. Odell, as well as Mrs. Donna, Mr. Mike, the Fadoir family, and many others. But, after Mass, we had to go to the airport to return home.
We had a fabulous weekend, and were sad to say goodbye to everyone again. We hope we can go back again sometime soon to visit. Thanks to everyone there who made our weekend so much fun!
