Aug. 3 - Michigan to See Grandma B.

Grandma B. had a massive heart attack (but no permanent damage, come to find out)  and ended up in the hospital. things were looking very grave within those first hours....so I packed the kids and I up, Mom came over and we headed out of town within a few short hours.  As we got about an hour away from the hospital, we got a call that things had taken a turn for the worse...we made it and over the next 2 days Grandma improved dramatically. What a miracle. A trip that looked to grave from the start ended up being a very fun few days for us and the kids as we visited Grandma in the hospital, stayed over night in a hotel w/a pool...the kids thought they were on vacay....and I guess, they kind of were.

Arriving at the hotel.

Next morning, checking out. Thinking we were going to be staying at Aunt Deb's house that night.


 Marquette, MI - Lake Superior
 



 The park we played at on this beautiful sunny summer day

 this is the mega Rainbow play set in the front of our new hotel for the night. We decided to stay in Marquette instead of driving back and forth from Deb's which would've been an hour + each way.

 The kids were so excited to have a pool and TWO hot tubs...one for the adults and a separate one for the kids!

 That's me in the hot tub. I had Mom take a picture of me to document!!

 Perkins for dinner, right next door to the hotel.  Look how sunny and beautiful it is...well while we were eating, things had turned really dark and nasty and a big storm rolled in!  It poured.  And by the time we were leaving...the storm had passed! Weird!

 Dinner
 I think I took grandma to the hospital and took the kids to Target to waste some time!

Natalie LOVED having a blow dryer in the hotel rooms.  She looks serious here, but lemme tell ya, she was having a ball stylin' that hair!!
