Winter in Michigan


Mackinaw on the ice. Quinten said to him "Mackinaw you're my best buddy". They really bonded over the weekend.



Our hosts' home-Aunt Linda and Uncle Carl Nelson.



Daddy and Quinten walking on frozen Burt Lake.



I like this picture!



Quinten is trying to break up the ice at the ice house.


We traveled north to Brutus, Michigan for the long President's weekend. Our trip was long at 8 hours arriving after midnight. We were the guests of Mark's aunt and uncle in their north home. Mark and Lauren were able to ski both Saturday and Monday at a fairly empty ski resort called Nub's Knob. This was great news for them-not so good for the ski resort. Janet got to hang out at the Nelson home with Linda's great cooking. We did enjoy hiking on frozen Burt Lake. I am so glad Quinten likes being outside in all weather conditions.
Quinten again traveled phenomenally! He travels best when we do very little stopping and let him watch little tv. Most people travel with their DVD players with little kids but Quinten needs to be an active learner. He finally fell asleep about 10:30 but never cried.
We returned home Tuesday after hearing more snow was falling in Columbus. It turned out to be an excellent decision as the return was without incident. We returned to our wonderful neighbor snow blowing our driveway from the 9 inches of snow fallen the day before.
