We left him behind!

Well, we finally did it. We left Andrew behind and went on a short trip together, just Paul and I. We had come to the conclusion, that since this baby is due to arrive shortly before our 7th anniversary, that we'd go away now as a celebration. So we took Andrew, Grandma Bush, Bridger, and Discover to Silver Lake on Thursday afternoon and drove the rest of the way to Mackinaw City alone. It felt strange, I'll admit it. We have never left him behind before. (He did spend most of one night with my mom and dad in Montana while we were at camp.)
Anyway, we went to the bridge, which I had never seen, and it was beautiful!! We also went to fort Michilimackinac and had a great time. On the way back to Silver Lake, we drove through some of the Jordan River area. That was beautiful. Paul remembered it from some trips he had been on as a teen.
We then spent the rest of Labor Day Weekend at Silver Lake. All of Paul's family made it up for at least part of the weekend. That was great. I must say that things can get a little crazy in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom place when you have 11 people! We all survived and had a great time! Brad, Suz's hubby, brought up a giant slip and slide that he had made. Everyone had a great time playing in the water! It was Brad's birthday on Monday and we all enjoyed a delicious blizzard cake from Dairy Queen.
All in all a great weekend.
