One day we went to Frankenmuth, as that seems to be one of those places that is pretty unique to Michigan. The girls slept on our drive and then LOVED the Christmas store!
Since we live away from everyone and have only seen the twins a few times, it was great to have them all to ourselves and get to know them better. Matt used food to get in their good graces and it did the trick. He was in the office studying and next thing you know, the girls are missing...they joined him for his snack of chips and guacamole. They do have good taste!
One day they were here we went to Canada where we walked along the Detroit River and had lunch. Plus, we had to stop for Krispy Kremes on the way.
Matt got to join us for dinner at a new place we found in Royal Oak. (I love the fettuccini alfredo and we have been back once since this visit.)
The best find while they were in town was this candy shop where they have every candy imaginable. We were on the hunt for Big Hunks since I have been looking for them ever since moving to Michigan. For some reason not many people here have had the pleasure of this candy. (Maybe it is a western thing, but now that I got my mom and sister hooked on them again they can't find them in Arizona either.) Anyways, the store was fun and we got lots of treats. The girls loved the small shopping carts and kept stopping to put things in that looked good to them, or that were within reach.
The trip was so fun and much needed for me! As I was looking through my pictures I noticed that my mom isn't in any of them, but she was with us the whole time! She got stuck with picture taking duty I guess.

Yea for the updates! That trip was a blast!
That looks like a ton of fun Amber. Wish we could come see you, but things are definitely harder and going to be harder in the next few months. Keep us updated!!!
That looks like a great surprise. I'm sure you were all smiles while they were there.
