A Camping We Will Go…
Last weekend we headed over to Pinckney Recreation Area for another family camping adventure. I don’t know if it was such the relaxing and laid-back weekend as our anniversary getaway sans munchkins, but it’s always fun to watch them in their adventures and wonder at all their new experiences. We Continue Reading
Little Tiger on the Town
Friday we headed down to the A2 Summer Festival for a little fun and face painting, and came home with a little tiger. It was a fun little jaunt. Alexander actually followed through with the painting, and was pretty pleased with his transformation. He got lots of gawks and ‘aww’s Continue Reading
