On October 10, we went to West Lafayette to watch the Purdue/Minnesota "game" (if that's what you want to call it) :). It was the Kids Club day and it was gorgeous. Purdue got killed, so the game wasn't too much fun to watch. But we had fun walking around the stadium and talking to the Bergers and Shaws.

Over our Fall Break, Matt and I took a little mini vacation to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Matt got several suggestions from John on yummy restaurants in the area. We stayed just outside the city at the Riverfront Hotel (would not really recommend this one). The pictures online are quite different from what it actually looked like. :( But we didn't let that ruin our fun. We went to San Chez Tapas restaurant and the Electric Cheetah. Both were good and had some different things on the menu. Grand Rapids has several local breweries so Matt got to try some different beers. We also went to the new outlet mall, which is beautiful, and the B.O.B. (big old building) that had several restaurants, bars, and a club (which didn't even open until 11...too late for these old folks!). It was really nice to be able to spend some quality time with the hubby without any distractions. That is so necessary and I think we often forget because day to day things just get in the way. Thanks so much to the grandparents who watched the kiddos all weekend. We had a blast!!
What a special weekend! May was very thoughtful in planning this! Happy birthday!
