Michigan Trip

Over spring break last week, Celeste and I tagged along with my mom and my little brother, Quinton, to Michigan. We went to visit my brother, Jared, and his family. Jared is full of life and can put a smile on anyone's face. (Really, he's a goof sometimes!) Jared's wife, Julie, is so sweet and kind. She is the best cook and fed us great! Their little boy, Tayson, has the most fun personality you've ever seen in a 2 year old. He's also the smartest and cutest 2 year old ever! We had a great time and wish they lived closer! Thanks for hosting us all! We love you tons!

Here are some pictures and documents of what we did. (Warning: Lots of pictures ahead!)

The only time Celeste would let Jared hold her was if she was sleeping!
However, she started to warm up towards the end and they'd play "steal the binky!"

And if you have the Harrison boys together, this is a common activity:

We arrived the evening of Saturday, April 4th. Celeste once again did great on the plane and slept half of the way. She is a super traveler. Sunday we watched General Conference. Monday Jared went to work and the rest of us shopped. Thanks Julie for taking us! I hope you weren't too bored.

On Tuesday Jared and Quinton went to the Ford F150 factory and we went to a children's science museum. It was my first time being to a Children's Museum so it was fun.

On Wednesday, we all went to the Toledo Zoo in Ohio. I think I was more excited than anyone about this stop! Celeste LOVES animals so I was excited for her and let's be honest, I'm a little girl at heart and can't remember much about the one time I've been to the zoo! We had a great time, but I think it would have been better during the summer when they could have had more of the African Animals. Maybe we'll have to make a trip to the Hogle Zoo this summer...

At the zoo, Celeste had her first Carousel ride. This is how it went... :) Polar Bear! Tiger!

This was one huge ape!

Aren't we cute butterflies?

We were just finishing the last exhibit and Celeste fell asleep. Great timing!

On the way home from the zoo, we stopped to see Lake Erie.

Then on Thursday, we flew back to SLC, got in our car and drove home. It was a GREAT vacation!
