Trip to Michigan

Last weekend my Mom, Aunt Velma, Aunt Sally, and I took a trip to Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan to see my cousin and her family.  We had a fabulous time together with her, her boys, and doctor Lowell.  We didn't see Lowell much being he is in residency and works really long hours.  What dedication he has.  The first day we got there the boys were in school so we went to Northville, Michigan a quaint little town for lunch and shopping.  They had an exhibit called Skeletons Alive!  Skeletons were outside around the town depicting images of what goes on in the shops.  These were a couple we saw.  We also saw another part of Northville which had and old one room school house and old church for tourist to see.  Loved the beautiful fall colors in Michigan, have never been anywhere to see the colors on trees really change.

 

 The next day we took a short trek from Michigan to Canada.  We literally were there in 45 minutes.  We went to a few wineries close to the border.  Had to capture the flag picture to prove how close it is to where they live.  Pretty cool.

On Sunday we watched Spence and Everitt (Jill and Lowell's twin boys) play soccer.  They were fun to watch.  Then we all went to see Edsel and Eleanor Ford's house, the son on Henry Ford.  The creator of Ford automobiles.  They had lots of beautiful acreage and a massive house with 60 rooms and over 31,000 square feet.   Here are a few pictures of their property and the garage full of old Ford automobiles.  The little race cars were cars for their children that had real engines.  I think Spence and Everitt would love to have one of those.

We had such a great time and I can't wait to go back!  Love you, Ketron Family.
