Grandparents Recap #3

I realize that this week the posts will be picture-heavy and pretty pointless. But sometimes that's how I like it. Just simple and quick. It's a fast and fun way to share recap pictures with our friends and family who live far away.

Back to the recap post.

On Friday, we took Derek's parents to Put-In-Bay Island out here on Lake Erie, but made a pit stop on the way to drive through the Kalahari Safari. Considering cars go about 3 mph, we let Drew out of his seat to experience all of the animals!

Then it was across the fairy and to our first stop on the island; a Butterfly house.

It was disgustingly hot, but was worth it. I've never seen so many butterflies in one big area and Drew loved chasing them around! I think we all had a butterfly land on us at some point or another. 

As we began to sweat from every part of our bodies, I cut back on pictures, but I couldn't resist sharing this particular progression. Drew has been on carousels before, but the heat must have made for a bad ride on the island. He hadn't even made it the first whole rotation before giving the lip and jumping into daddy's arms. Thankfully, there was a bench that he enjoyed sitting on and watching us each time he went by. Can you see the beginning of a major upset face in the first picture?? And the leaping onto Derek in the 2nd picture? 

All in all, we had so much fun on our 'island retreat' with Mimi and Grandpa! Thanks again for the delicious food and treats while there!
