This past weekend we spent 3 days with my family in Michigan to celebrate my Grandfather's 90th birthday. Everyone arrived on Friday and the events began on Saturday morning at the Michigan War Memorial Museum in Frankenmuth. There were about 30 of us in total that participated in the weekend's events, including 5 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Saturday morning we made the trek to see and hear all about Grandfather's time serving in the war as a pilot. His memory was very sharp, as he was recalling many flights where he transported the wounded...giving us many details. Was fascinating to learn all about his history.

Kim RARELY drinks, so I had to take a pic
My niece, Taylor, and cousin, Alyson...they both have their drivers' permits and were high-fiving when they learned they would be the designated drivers. Hilarious.
