We arrived around 3 in the afternoon and wasted no time scoping out face painting.
The final product...a butterfly
Aunt Bridget and I then ventured off to the swings but then...
Oh my gosh!!
My eyes feasted upon the mother of all playgrounds, right here in Midland, Michigan.
If only I had chalk.
That's the biggest bag of bones I have EVER seen.
Look Baby Susie, canes for Gaga.
I think the one over there in the far corner would be perfect.
Whoa!
Am I all full of legos too?
This dude looks like he is really deep in thought.
Or maybe it's time out. I better move along.
That's the biggest bat and ball I have ever seen in my life.
I wonder how serious they are about 'no touching' per the sign to the left of my foot. Of course, I can always plead the defense that I can't read.
Mom, I think this would look perfect in our new house.
These aren't legos, but I just had to stop and check them out. The middle one looks like Gaga.
Let's keep moving along Baby Susie.
I think we should stop for a minute now, and really take this piece in.
It's Midland. I wonder if I can find Grandma and Gaga's house or Aunt Bridget's apartment.
My vote is that we move closer to where this dude is.
Oh how I wish these gigantic crayons were real. 
I guess his mom never told him to not play in puddles. Maybe that was why the other guy was put in time out near the exhibit entrance.
The birthday house was Mongolian Barbecue.
We got to pick out our own food...I honed in on Aunt Bridget's chicken.
We also got to eat with sticks.
Aunt Bridget helped me, since stick eating is not mommy's fortay.
You really should try some mom. 
Open wide!!
We got there in plenty of time to get primo shady seating.
And to throw back a few gold fish.
Okay, the parade is on it's way.
You know what that means...CANDY!
Of course, in between floats and tractors I snuck a few.
From the looks of it so did the big kids.
All this candy getting sure makes you tired.
Mom and I decided to sit a spell.
So did Gaga and Grandma.
Don't worry, while the rest of the family didn't really lift a finger to get the candy, I still shared my loot.
Price of silly teeth at the dollar store...$1.07
Price for hours of fun...PRICELESS!
I love Aunt Bridget soooo much!
We always have so much to talk about.
Of course, I love Raggedy Anne too. She was made by my Great, Great Aunt Rose. I have never met her, but boy that lady can sew.
Life is pretty sweet when you spend every morning chilling on Grandma and Gaga's porch.
My belly is really full of bagel and cream cheese and I can just sit and watch the world go by.
A bit colder than I am used to, but still a blast.
Now off to the H for a chocolate cookie hook up. Thanks Jesse and Aunt Bridget!
