Bubble bath

It's been a long time since my last post! We've had a busy week since we've been in Michigan. It all started with a LATE arrival on Monday. Our 14 hour trip turned into a 20 hour trip! The main reason being really bad weather in Oklahoma and Missouri. Once we got past St. Louis, we had a clear drive. However... somewhere along the way, Kaitlyn picked up a tummy bug! She got sick in the car around Chicago, and lucky for us that is only about an hour and a half from our destination! She didn't have a fever nor did she really seem sick, she just had a hard time keeping formula down (and didn't have a big appetite).



Then.... Wednesday, Mike got the tummy bug! He was wiped out! Thankfully this "bug" only lasted about 48 hours. We needed him in good health if we wanted to hit the slopes on Saturday. Sure enough... we find out in the morning that our 3 party member, Alli, got the same tummy bug! UGH! We've just been passing this thing around! Even Grandpa Kevin got it! My mom and I are doing everything in our power to keep from getting it (we are both still healthy)!

Mike and I made it to Otsego for an afternoon of skiing and snowboarding. We went to Bittersweet Ski Resort, and had a BLAST! Mike did give me a tip to keeping my toes warm... wear one pair of socks! All these years I have had cold toes because I was wearing 2 pairs of socks and cutting off the circulation! I am so thankful he said something to me, because my feet were warm the entire time we were on the slopes. Mike had one really good spill at the bottom of a black diamond (expert) hill. Even I had quite a crash with another snowboarder! Thankfully all I got was a bruise, and the kid I clobbered only had broken goggles.

We both have enjoyed breaking out the board games with my mom, Kevin, and Alli; playing cards with Oma and Opa, and even shoveling snow! I really have enjoyed the snow! I want to go snow tubing on the dunes at some point while we are here, and maybe ice skating too! Chauncey LOVES the snow!! I'll have to see if I can't get a video of him running around the yard. He will run outside and hit a snowdrift and fall face first in the snow! It's really funny!

Kaitlyn is doing very well now! She's back to her perky, curious self. I got a few videos of her in the bath tub. She was squeaking the rubber ducky with her mouth!

She has this face that she makes where she scrunches her nose and makes this funny noise!

We look forward to our next stop in Alma seeing Grandma and Grandpa Fulkerson, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Wood, and all her aunts, uncles, and cousins! :)
