Avery and I traveled with my mom and my grandparents up to Michigan to visit family and meet up with my sister on her way back to Texas from summer grad school. I took a ton of pics, but these are just some highlights of our time there.
 |
| Aunt Michelle was SO glad to see Avery again after 2 months away. |
 |
| Avery loved Debbie and Debbie's phone. |
 |
| She played with doggies. |
 |
| She ran off some energy at the park. |

| Hi, Cheryl! Are you going to help me down off the deck? |
 |
| We visited Calder's Dairy, where Avery... |
 |
| Drove a dairy truck... |
 |
| And chased the ducks and geese |
 |
| And saw some goats |
 |
| And baby cows, who were very friendly... |
 |
| And bigger cows, all lined up... |
 |
| Had some farm-made ice cream... |
 |
| And saw a newly born calf while his momma worked on finishing up those pesky afterbirth contractions. |
 |
| We played in Lake Erie |
 |
| And met Loretta, who took formerly cranky Avery on a walk |
 |
| And then she was so happy to be home finally. |
We only had one meltdown, on our last night in Michigan, so I'd call this trip a success. And when I say meltdown, I mean an hour and a half of crying, with 20-30 minutes of solid screaming, like someone was beating her. She threw her body all over that pack 'n play and then all of a sudden it was quiet. She fell asleep and woke up happy.

Wow, Michigan! That's a long way from Texas. Did y'all fly or drive?
Drove, and oh my am I not doing that again for awhile! It's a 25 hour drive, and we broke it up into 3 days so we could stop earlier at night for Avery. She was really good, considering the long hours, but still way crankier than I'm used to at home.
