Mom & Dad took Shawn Friday night. We went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner, went to Wal Mart in Bowling Green & then came home because it was so cold. On Saturday morning, we woke up restless to go somewhere. We decided to get a hotel room in Ponitac, MI & go to the indoor outlet mall in Auburn Hills. It is about 1 1/2 hours from here. We called Mom & Dad to see if they wanted to go along. Dad had to work Saturday night & Sunday night, so Mom came. We were able to get a 2 bedroom suite at a Residence Inn. Really nice room. We went to the mall & shopped.

Tim got a couple of shirts and a black light to charge the stars on Shawn's ceiling. It is really neat. Shawn goes in & says "Oh sky" "Oh, Stars" "Moon" He really likes it. We alos got Shawn a Percy train piece from his Thomas & Friends collection.

Shawn feel asleep on the way back to the hotel. As were heading back, we saw a carry out for Guido's pizza. Mom went in & got the menu & we headed back to the hotel. While Shawn slept, we ate the Big Guido, an antipasta salad & garlic bread. It was pretty good. When Shawn woke up, we all changed into our bathing suits & headed to the pool. We had to go outside briefly to get to the pool & that was freezing!! Their was no one in the pool!! We were happy. We were going to go into the pool, but it was really cold. The hot tub hadn't been on all day, so the water was about 80 degrees. So, we all went in there. Shawn was so happy. He kept saying bubbles & fun & happy. After about 3 times of turning on the timer, we could finally feel the water getting warmer ( the sign stated that it was suppose to be between 101 & 104 degrees). So, we pulled Shawn out & we all headed back to the room.

Sunday morning we got up & went to the comp breakfast in the hotel. We had scrambled eggs, sausage, coffe, yogurt, V8, waffles & muffins. Pretty good. We then headed to Target & back to the Mall. Tim had 2 Gamesworks cards - one from Vegas & one from Columbus. Their readers couldn't read the cards & then Tim realized that they expire after 1 year. He was bummed. Took Shawn to a play area & then we headed home. Stopped off at another mall on the way home. Shawn didn't want to shop, so it was a quick trip through there. We will go back there again - it was a neat mall.

Came home, unpacked, went to Sam's Club & then dropped off Mom & picked up Dauber. We were tired!! We had to pick up the house because we finally have a Electrian coming to fix our microwave problem!
