Petoskey, MI - our vacation

She got it made!!!

Today we went to our vacation headquarters to Petoskey, MI which is way north of us but still in Michigan. This is actually our first family vacation. Everybody is very excited.
Here we made a stop at Bay City for lunch and a little walk

At the hotel in Petoskey, unloading our goods ready to start our vacation.

Our view :)... it's a big room we got so we can setup all our kids beds far away from each other and us that everybody has their own little area and space *lol*

 Zoe loves our bed!!!

Didn't know that diapers can be sooo entertaining... the two had a blast after dinner stacking them up and crawling/ jumping over it.

Zoe just doesn't wanna go to bed. She wants to go 'home home'... I hope she'll fall asleep eventually... ;)

Good Camera...

Well... time to get the good canon out :). Our morning ... cutiepies :)

Old Fire Trucks

Around the corner in a park they've placed all these old fire trucks which we quickly went and checked out before nap time:

Always taking care of her brother :)... Zoe drank something and right away she grabbed Henry's bottle out of the stroller and fed him some water... so cute :)

Lily's 5th Birthday

Zoe was super excited to go to Lily's 5th Birthday. She colored the birthday card and carried the gift into the car which had to stay at her side of the car etc. Was pretty cute... so finally we went there and the biggest event of the Birthday parties is singing the 'happy birthday' song and getting her cupcake of course :)... sneaky Girl... but she only eats the frosting and the rest she leaves alone :). Good Girl :)

The newest thing since she got the headphones for the car ride (until a week ago or so she was only watching the movie without sound)... she screams: 'STOP MOMMY, STOP... NOOOOO' when I park the car... She doesn't want me to turn off the car at all! Urgh... spoiled child I guess... ;) but hey, no watching while parking ;).

Toledo Zoo

And we went to the zoo again :). With some great friends... we were a stroller convey *lol*... here some pics

lunch picnic

In the aquarium there was black light and Zoe thought it was pretty funny how it made her skin look :)

'Look everybody, my hands'

'Look, my hands'

A Turtlemonster!!! URGH... they stand still for a long while and you think they're dead but they aren't and they look creepy!!!

Zoe has her ritual popcorn since she had them once with grandma in the zoo :)

The giraffes were being fed

'Stop mom, LOOK!'

'Over there...'

Lizzie, Stacey, Grace and Jen with us in the carousel

What a great day
