This had to of been one of the funnest weekends ever! For Danny's Birthday, we decided to get tickets to the Michigan vs. Utah game at the "Big House" in Michigan. So the journey began on Thursday. We woke up at 5:00 in the morning and headed off to the airport. Of course everyone else was trying to get to Michigan for the big game too. These are just a few pictures of the boys waiting at the airport. After getting bumped about 3 or 4 times, we made it to Toledo Ohio at about 10:00 at night. We decided to get a hotel that night and then head out to the BEST AMUSEMENT PARK ever the next day! The park is called Cedar Point and is home to about every ride imaginable. As Danny said "You walk in fear the whole day scared what the next ride will be". The rides were so awesome. All I can say is that everyone needs to go there. Danny and Daniel went on a roller coaster that takes you straight up 400 feet in the air and then straight down at 120 mph! I tried to add a picture, but believe me it doesn't do it justice. It is the scariest ride I have ever seen and one I did not dare to go on.
The amusement park is also right on Lake Erie. That was also amazing to see. It was such a fun day. Then at about 8:00 at night we headed to my Cousin Heidi's house. Blake and Heidi were so great! I cannot even begin to tell you all how nice they were to us. Their house is amazing. They have remodeled it and it looks so good! Blake's parents also came in for the game and they were so much fun! Daniel and Derrik had the best time hanging out with Hayden. He shared his room with them and was just awesome. Dylan also loved meeting his new cousin Henry. They are only about a month apart in age. Henry is such a cutie! We stayed up late talking and then woke up the next morning and had an amazing breakfast and then we were off to the Big HOUSE!
The stadium was amazing. I think it holds about 110,000 people. We were tiny red dots in a sea of yellow, but the Michigan fans were very nice. The game was great and of course Utah won. We had gotten our tickets off of ebay and amazingly enough, Heidi and Blake's were just a few rows from ours. After the game Blake showed us the campus and then took us to a store where I could buy a few Michigan souviners. Then we went back to Heidi and Blakes and had the BEST ribs ever. Blake's dad made the ribs and I still have dreams about them. They were so yummy. Unfortunatly our amazing trip had to come to an end. We left the next morning at 5:00 am Michigan time and didn't get home till 9:30 p.m Utah time, but it was all worth it. We had such a great time and just want to tell Heidi and Blake Thanks again! They are the BEST!

I did not know it was Danny's Birthday - which day? We could have had a cake with the ice cream! You are so on top of it! Seeing the pictures gets me motivated to blog mine - well, yours since we forgot the camera at the game. :) We had a lot of fun - it was great to have all of you and to catch up too! I wish it could have been for longer. I can't believe I did not even hear you guys get up and leave. I woke up and looked at the clock and it was 8:05 - I ran down cuz I thought - oh crap.... we all slept in and they missed their flight. But you guys were gone. I have to admit - I was sad :(. Everything was folded so nicely - you didn't have to do that. But I was mad you were so quiet and that I did not wake up to say good bye and give you a hug. I thought for sure I would have heard you guys. I must have been tired from all the festivities and the late late night before! It was great to have you guys - you are always welcome! The kids are still taking about your kids - everyone of them! WE WILL HAVE TO DO A TRIP TOGETHER SOMETIME - TONS OF FUN!!!
