Memorial Day Weekend

Mike and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Friday! We spent the afternoon golfing....it was a beautiful day and it was so nice to relax and enjoy each others company:) Saturday we headed to Frankenmuth for the weekend. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, they hold this big dog show/festival. This was our second year going to it. We had such a fun trip. We spent our time watching the "big air" competition (where dogs compete in long jump off the dock), seeing the hot air balloons, eating an amazing chicken dinner at the famous Zender's, shopping at the Birch Run Outlets, visiting the cute little shops of downtown Frankenmuth, playing at Zender's Splash Village (an indoor waterpark), and shopping at the Howell Outlets on the way home. I posted pictures of most of our trip, but unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of the kids at Splash Village! :( I wish I would have because that place is amazing . God has blessed me with the most amazing family!

The only picture I have of Splash Village...It's so much fun!

Breakfast at Splash Village

Jordan loved the big nutcrackers.

As long as she has that thumb and blankie, she's one happy camper:)

The band

This is what they call "the circle of friendship"...

We all held hands and sang songs like "American the Beautiful" and "How Great Thou Art".

"Arrrgh Mate!"


Mmmm...Zender's has the best chicken!!


Jordan was zonked out after a lonnng day!

Here is Jordan on one of his many attempts to escape!






Mike and I get the biggest kick out of Jordan when he walks along with his hands in his pocket. What a little man!

Here we are watching the white peacock.

Iris is in awe of the balloons!

Iris is trying to sneak some water from Jordan's cup before he catches her.

Jordan LOVED watching those balloons "way up high" as he kept saying!
