First Plane Ride!

Much better than expected!! That's how I would describe our whirl-wind trip to Michigan. We loaded up a plane to Detroit early Thursday morning...and Hudson was TERRIFIC!! Kevin and I were quite nervous about the whole process, but he was entertained and well-contained!
We landed and headed to Adrian, MI where we visited 3 great-grandparents, a great-aunt, and a great-great aunt & uncle along with Grandpa D and Omi! Surprisingly, Hudson made it all day on a 1 hour nap. At bedtime, we loaded up the car again and ventured to Birmingham, MI to stay with some wonderful friends, the Adams'!

It was such fabulous weather so Friday we headed to the park with the Adams Triplets - yes, triplets! 3 year old triplets!! And mad props to Jon & Shelli - Jon Harris, Jack & Allie are 3 of the most well-behaved kiddos I've met ever! We had dinner at a local pizza joint where Hudson enjoyed his FIRST Lollipop!!

Saturday flew by...we walked a couple of blocks to enjoy Dream Cruise (a HUGE event for car enthusiasts). It was really cool watching all the old cars people had restored cruising down the main drag! We then went on to the main attraction for the weekend...Michael & Erin's wedding! Michael is Kevin's only cousin - how could we miss it! It was a beautiful wedding and reception, just was a little long for our little man! He sat quietly through the wedding {with one "YEA" after Erin's sister sang}, had "BRIE" at happy hour {and loved it}, enjoyed some dinner and even cut a rug on the dance floor!

Sunday was a low-key day. We played with the Jon Harris, Jack & Allie and their abundance of toys in the drive-way {pjs and all} and walked to a local diner for lunch {sans pjs}. Then we all headed back to the house to catch a much needed snooze before our trip home. Hudson wasn't as terrific on the way home, but we made it and without any dirty looks or hurting ears!

Hudson really liked playing with the big kids - Jack especially! I think in a few years, those two will definitely be causing some trouble!!! I couldn't get enough of the weather...it made me crave fall and football season even more!!!
But as luck would have it, he's been running a fever consistently since Sunday morning. The poor guy feels puny and won't eat a thing. Good news is he's drinking more than normal and still sleeping! He nevers gets sick, so the sweet thing just doesn't know how to handle it (nor does mommy for that matter)!
We all can't wait to head back north again and see all of our family and friends!
