Pigeon

I can finally post on our trip to Michigan. This was a trip to celebrate Patrick's grandmother's 100th birthday...and what a celebration it was!
We stayed in a town called Frankenmuth which was about 50 miles away because Pigeon just couldn't provide the kind of accommodations we needed. Frankenmuth was fantastic! It was gorgeous and full of fun. We visited all the fun shops--including Bronners CHRISTmas Wonderland. We watched the river boats and we ate a lot. Some of us went on the carriage rides.


The first trip to Pigeon was to spend the day on the family farm where the grandmother gave birth to and raised 9 children! Maggie had a blast. They had a little "train" for the kids that she spent a great deal of time in.

The second day we went to Pigeon we had the the big open house bash then took a tour of the town courtesy of Patrick's mom. She called a conference line on my phone and we had a convoy of cars behind us, each with their own cell phone dialed in to listen.

After that we headed to Lake Huron for bit. Maggie loved it and felt very comfortable with beaches and water after her trip to Florida.

A lot of photos were taken by family members so I don't have them yet to post. I'll get a pic of Maggie with her great grandmother posted as soon as possible.

It sounds like you had a great time! I'm glad you made it home after your LONG time away. I hope Brian continues to do well. How scary. It sounds like your family handled it well which is so important! Keep me posted on anything new with him.
