Tailgate

We are now the proud owners of a Chrysler Town and Country. Yup - we own a minivan. We were able to get a really nice one: power sliding doors, DVD players, stow and go seating, blind spot detectors, leather seats, back up monitor, etc. Phil was able to pick the car up on Friday afternoon. Will seems to really like it - especially the "magic doors."

Grann also came to visit this weekend. After she got in, we went up to Gaslight for Friday dinner at Ramona's table. On Saturday morning, we took advantage of the stow and go feature to pick up supplies for the U of M alumni club Oktoberfest/Tailgate for the MSU game. We went to Meijer to pick up food for 150 people and then went out to Cannonsburg to get things set up. The club had rented a lodge and we were able to set up a huge projection screen inside and also had a TV set up outside. We had pumpkin decorating, cookie decorating, and several other crafts for the kids. We had a nice spread including hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, potato salad, cider/donuts from Robinette's, etc. Grann brought Will up closer to game time. He seemed to have fun running around and exploring.

On Sunday, we went out to breakfast and then took Will to the mall to run around for a bit. In the afternoon, the sun came out and he was able to go to the playground for a bit.
