My Aunt Chris is running for state representative in Michigan, so this weekend a bunch of family members drove up to support her by marching in her town's Founders Day parade. I made the drive early (VERY early) Saturday morning with Liam and Max. The parade route itself wasn't terrible, but getting to and from made it more than four miles of walking, so it was a good thing we left Henry behind (but don't feel bad for him because he got a special overnight stay with Yami and Papaw). We had a lot of fun, especially at the hotel afterward. (It was an Embassy Suites, which I highly recommend for the price and amenities.) The best part was that the rest of the family (Holidays, Kruyers, Laizures, and Hoopers) were all on the same floor as us, so the kids could go from suite to suite with the older kids watching the younger ones, and the adults were free to enjoy the complimentary cocktails at the manager's reception and still keep track of the comings and goings because of the open layout of the atrium. There was also a lot of swimming and eating of Thai food. Plus the checkout wasn't until noon, so we had a whole morning to enjoy before reluctantly bidding cousins goodbye and heading back home.
