Zinser getaway to Detroit

Grandma and Papa took the Weatherwax and Nichols kids to Detroit for a few days.
First stop was Greenfield Village.  The kids helped the engineer use the train turntable.  
They took a train ride around the 80+ acre museum which even includes a working farm.
 Next stop was the Henry Ford Museum.  On display - memorabilia from The Magical Mystery Tour.  Hmmm....No wonder why Papa wanted to go to Detroit!
They also attended a Detroit Tigers game at Comerica where they are known for their famous tiger carousel...
and Ferris wheel.
 It was quite a warm day, so they climbed up top to seek some shade!
Of course, swimming with your cousins is the best!

Thank you Grandma and Papa!

As I think about where my kiddos have traveled this summer - North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Michigan - how blessed are they to have these wonderful opportunities to experience culture in other states.  I have to admit, having a quiet house all to myself was pretty darn nice.  Perfect opportunity to clean out our crawl spaces and closets!
