Michigan Fenton Day – 6th Aug
We woke up to a surprise in Michigan, not more chickens sacrificed to the fox god. Rain! We haven’t seen the stuff since we arrived, we have been so lucky with the weather. It rained and it rained and it didn’t stop all day. It was lovely and cool, but what do you do with…

It was the size of Center Parcs with slides just as fun. Lots of kiddy slides and splash areas. Slow and…

Michigan Lego Day – 2nd Aug
Another lovely day today in Michigan, we took the kiddos to Lego Discovery Centre! Daddy decided to lose his wallet which was a great start to the day! Turned out it had fallen out into a pile of dirty washing. There is nothing like the feeling when you lose your wallet or phone. There is…

Michigan Museum Day – 1st Aug
Another packed day in Michigan, we started by heading to the Hands On Museum in Ann Arbor. Amazing place geared towards kids getting their hands dirty and learning.

Jumped on a bus to Disney Springs and spent the afternoon shopping. Everyone loved the boys shirts, they were actually Primark specials! Mummy wore Nate’s Stitch hat for…
