July: Part 2

Let’s continue on from where we left off.  Once we returned from Arkansas, we had to catch up with our Michigan friends.

We were home for a week or so…

…and then Mamaw, Papaw, and Andrew came for a visit!  This was their first trip to Detroit!  We spent a fantastic week together, doing everything Michigan!  We visited lots of fun places and ate a lot of great food!  The first night, we just hung out around the house and then went and grabbed a little dinner at Red, Hot, and Blue.

The next day, we were off to Bronner’s and Frankenmuth – Michigan’s Little Bavaria.  We had lunch at the famous Zehnder’s…

…and then we had takeout dinner from Hippo’s Hotdogs – the best Chicago-style hotdog outside of Chicago!!  Mmmm, mmmm,mmmm!!!!

The next day, we were off to pick some raspberries and blackberries.  Brooklyn didn’t contribute too much to the overall amount that we gathered, since she ate everything that she picked! :)

When we got back to the house that afternoon, Andrew was in charge of dinner, and he’s quite the chef!  He even used some of our berries to make a very yummy raspberry sauce for our ice cream.  We were all a little spoiled that week!

Brosnan also turned 7 months old that day!  He is getting so big and a lot busier!  Reminds me of a little girl that I know!

Brooklyn was very shy with Andrew, initially, but she soon warmed up to him.  They hung out quite a bit during the week and she still talks about him every now and then.

DSCN6325 Well, that is just the beginning!  There is so much more to come!  See you soon when we are off to Greenfield Village, the Henry Ford Museum, and the Eastern Market!! :)
