Anyway, my kids knew for a long time that Josh was coming mid-June and they couldn't wait. Sydney asked me like everyday when he was coming until finally the day arrived. I kept the kids out of daycare and my mom came over every morning for a week while Jason and I worked, so Josh could spend time with the kids. They LOVED every single minute of it.
They went to Chuckie Cheese, the movies to see Mr. Poppers Penguins, Toys R Us, and probably other places that I can't even remember. All I know is that these kids were spoiled rotten. Lizzy has been walking around the house like a penguin now, but that's cool! So, those were the daytime activities, but we can't forget about night!
One night, Josh had plans to go out with friends and it just so happens that Jason's sister was in town, so we all went to the Tigers game with all of the cousins. My kids don't exactly love the ballgame (well, Lizzy does) so it was just okay, but nice to see everyone and be all together. The only thing was that it was hard to talk to everyone in that kind of setting, but fun nonetheless. They had great fireworks that night, which kind of made up for the loss!
Over the weekend, Jason had to go to Midland for a basketball tournament, but we didn't let the fun stop...no way!! My dad came over and we all took the kids to the Livonia Spree. I had never been there before, but it was like the best carnival I have ever been to and will for sure be back! Some guy sold us some vouchers for wrist bands and the kids were absolutely in heaven. They went from ride to ride to ride without skipping a beat. There were a ton of kids rides and no lines and they just had the time of their lives. The smiles were permanantly planted on their faces the whole night. Josh was pretty much the "yes" man the entire time he was there. If anyone wanted anything, he was like, "suuuuurrrrrrrrreee, I'll go get it." So my kids walked away with a couple goodies! I thoroughly enjoyed watching my kids have fun. Lizzy screamed "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" all the way through every ride, it was so cute and I'm so glad we went.
I honestly can't remember every little detail because it really flew by, but it was definitely action packed with a couple bbq's and another trip to Tiger Stadium for another ball game, and ANOTHER loss. I'm beginning to think that Jason is bad luck, lol...it couldn't be me, right? It was actually an awful game, so we let the kids ride the carousel and the ferris wheel. I ended up going on the ferris wheel alone with the kids because we didn't have enough cash on hand for all of us, so Jason waited on the side. They put us on the ride with this young couple who were about to have a baby and they got a kick out of Sydney and Lizzy. They asked Lizzy what her name was and she said, "My name is girlfriend" (she still likes me to call her girlfriend buddy, so funny). Then Lizzy sang them "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". Everyone's favorite part is when she starts barking like a dog because she things that the songs says, "Roof roof roof for the Tigers". It was a good time!
And finally, the week came to an end. The kids were sad to see Josh go. I mean, who wouldn't want to be spoiled for a week? I'm sure we will eventually have to plan a trip out to see him. I mean, Florida isn't exactly a bad place to visit.
