Bridges

Liam loves bridges and is becoming obsessed with bridges.  I found a book called Bridges from my teaching days.  He now knows the Golden Gate Bridge, London Bridge (aka Tower Bridge), Brooklyn Bridge, Angel Bridge (Sant’ Angelo), Sydney Bridge….well you get the point.  There was a covered bridge with a big long name so my mom just told him it was the Frankenmuth Bridge (a nearby bridge).

Anyway, we had another nice fall day today, so we headed up to Frankenmuth.  We walked across the bridge and rode across the bridge over a dozen times.  Then we headed over to Riverplace and after coming out of the bathroom we stumbled upon the local Renaissance Festival royalty.  Brenna’s eyes got really big and started saying “princess, princess, princess!”  Of course that drew them right over to us.  He asked Brenna if she would like to be a princess and she just froze up.  He said she wasn’t a princess unless she had jewelry and gave her a ring.  Then he asked Liam if he wanted to be a pirate, and he was pretty froze up too, I think they didn’t know what to make of them.  It was cute though.

We went across the bridge again and there was a fine art festival we they headed to McDonalds play area.  They have only been to a McDonalds play area once and they were way too little for it.  This one was really clean and nice and Liam and Braeden enjoyed the slides while Brenna preferred to stay on the ground playing with Legos. 

As we headed for home, Liam made one more request for the bridge so we headed back one more time and headed home.
