We packed up and flew to Michigan just in time to play in the leaves and go trick or treating. My parents have huge, beautiful oak and maple trees which created a wonderful amount of leaves to play in. Our friends Stacy, Russ, and their kids Anna and Owen came over for the day to play. I don’t know who had more fun playing in the leaves Floyd or Anna! We all had a great time.
For Halloween, Molly was a bumble bee. We went by a few of my parents friends and then to the firehouse, where they were having cider and donuts. She was spoiled with coloring book, crayons, and candy.
We also met Patty and Casey’s new little girls, Anna and Lexie. What sweet little girls. Molly enjoyed playing in Anna’s room and reading her books. On our way home, we stopped at Franklin Cider Mill. Oh, how I’ve missed that place. Yummy cider slushy and donuts. Molly enjoyed watching the cider wheel and the ducks.
My mom had a new little shadow for the week. Molly loved playing with Nana. First thing in the morning, Molly was asking where Nana and Grandpa were. She really enjoyed sleeping in a big bed (twin mattress on the floor). Nana had bought her Tinkerbell sheets. Molly did a great job in the big bed. At the beginning of the week she would sleep up against the wall and not use the pillow. By the end of the week, she was sleeping in the middle of the bed with pillow. She also was quite the adventurer. Molly loved to explore the attic. The last night we were home, Floyd put her to bed and came downstairs. A few minutes later, he said “I think Molly is playing in the room”. When we went to bed, it looked like she had dove into bed and fell asleep-sideways and no blankets, feet hanging off the side of the bed. In the morning, I looked in the attic to find the door open. I asked her if she had been playing in the attic after bedtime. She innocently said “yes”. And then went on to tell us how she turned on the light, what she played with, etc.
The time change got us on the way back but I think we are recovered and ready to travel again. Fall is a great time to go home to Michigan!
Happy Thanksgiving!
