You can see all the balloon animals on the mantel. There is an elephant, giraffe, monkey, and frog before Mike ran out of balloons.





Jack went to the Meijer Gardens with Reilly and Alex. He loved playing with his friends but was a little dismayed at how slow the girls moved from one area to the next. He is learning at a young age. Because it was a beautiful weekend, we also went to the beach one last time. 80 degree weather in Michigan in October is quite unusual. If you asked Jack where daddy was at this time - he would answer - "on vacation" as Mike was in Las Vegas for an army conference.
