Off to Ann Arbor, MI for Memorial Day weekend!
It was such a treat for the whole Dunbar clan to be together in one room again. The last time that had happened it was 3 years ago our wedding. Now, three years later we are in different cities and there are two new additions! It was such a great time!
Brayden and Ben seemed to get along right from the get-go. Brayden just stared at him (those who know Brayden know what I am talking about…the Brayden stare!) and flowed him around. Brayden would try to copy everything Ben was doing.
Ben is much more energetic than Brayden so he kept Brayden pretty busy. They played with all the toys that my mom had set up for them. When I say all the toys, I mean all the toys in the whole world! He downstairs was turned into this awesome playroom with every kind of toy you can imagine! The kids were in heaven and we were worried they wouldn’t want to go outside and play at all! It was so fun and they had such a great time taking all the toys in and out of the closet.
Besides playing with all the toys, they jumped on the beds together and had a dace party together after their bath! They were so cute and we didn’t have any fighting. I think this is a great eye into the future and I hope they will remain close over their lifetime!
Other than watching the kids play, we did what you usually don on vacations, relax and eat and drink way too much! We toured Ann Arbor and went to all the local hot spots. Other than that it was just lying around the house and watching the little boys play.
I was sad to leave and glad that I had a chance to be with my whole family again. Brayden and I have plans to go back to MI in a couple of weeks and we also have plans to spend the fourth of July up in Washington D.C. with my sister and her family! It is SO great having everyone within reach for once!
Hope your holiday weekend was as great as ours!

Holy CRAP! That kid can eat. It all sounds so yummy though, I can't blame him. What a nice Vaca-those pics of the two boys are so precious, especially the one of them at the sink with their aprons on, love it. Glad you all had a nice time!
