Visit to Fremont & Baby Shower #2

Steven went through a collection of the wooden vehicles his Grandpa Hawes (Justin's great-grandpa) made way back in the day. We took a bunch home with us to display in Justin's room.

This weekend we traveled to the west side of the state (Fremont, MI-which is near Grand Rapids) for "family camping" and a family baby shower thrown by Steven's family. On Friday, when we got there we took Steven's dad out for Father's Day to see the Incredible Hulk which we highly recommend seeing. Friday was fairly quiet and low key. We went to bed very early because Steven worked the night before and hadn't slept in 24 hours and well, I don't need a reason to go to bed early because I am ALWAYS tired! :)
Saturday, I slept in because I didn't sleep well during the night (big surprise!) Grandma Hawes made a big yummy breakfast and then we headed to the baby shower. We had a great time and received many wonderful gifts. 2 big ticket items we were very excited to receive were the travel system (car seat, stroller & car base) and the Baby Einstein play system! All of our gifts were wonderful of course! The food and company were great and after the shower everyone ended up at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a cookout and bonfire!
On the way home Sunday, we made a stop in Grand Rapids to visit Aunt Tracy& Uncle Mike and had lunch. As always it was great to see them!
We're finally home and unloaded all the gifts and are working on finishing up Justin's room. Only a few more things to get and he should be all set!
Thank you all for a wonderful and relaxing weekend-we love you all very much!
