So after our weekend in South Bend, we drove up Michigan to spend time in Alpena with grandma and grandpa and the CCs (my sister Mary and her family)!! This is always so much fun to be in this wonderful little town in such a beautiful area of the state. My parents have a great little house that somehow fits all of us PERFECTLY!
But...to be honest...our time in Alpena was pretty much a blur to me. Because...we all got the stomach flu! Actually, we think it was Norovirus. Whatever you call it, it was not fun. Bunny started feeling bad the second night, then by the next day more of us got it. Hence, I didn't really take a ton of photos and I don't remember a lot of what happened!! But if there ever was a good time to all be sick, it was then. My parents could keep the healthy kids entertained and fed, which was SO NICE not to worry about that!!
Next visit, we'll try really hard not to get sick. Alpena is usually a really fun place. :o)
