Weekend Wonders

We spent our Saturday at the Henry Ford Museum, enjoying the Grand Opening of the Lego Castle exhibit. The Chief was in Lego bliss. There were Legos and Duplos to play with, as well as a jousting area, a castle, and an digitally animated catapult attack. I have to say that I was just as impressed as the kids.

After our Lego adventure ended, we headed outside to Greenfield Village. The kids were excited to see the hundreds of pumpkins lining the streets right now as part of the decorations for the Village's Halloween nights. We headed straight for the glass blowers per Zu Zu's request. Not only did she remember the place, but she asked specifically about the girl glass blower who was working during our last visit. We watched for a long time and as we left to head back to the museum Zu Zu declared her ambition to become a glass blower. The artist in me was more than a little pleased with her announcement.

We rounded out our evening with a trip to our new favorite burger joint, Bagger Daves. Here's Zu Zu and I sharing a Honey, Cinnamon and Sea Salt shake.

Today we continued our adventures with a bike ride to Gallup park, a long stint on the playground there, and feeding the ducks.

Needless to say, it has been a great weekend. We're trying to pack in as much fun as we can before the snow hits (which is always sooner than you expect here in Michigan).

In other news, I've hit a bit of a road block with my story. There needs to be some research done in order to progress with part of it, but that shouldn't be too bad. I'm waiting on some materials to come in at our fabulous local library. Until then, I'm hoping to continue moving forward with rest of the story.

Cheers.
