On the Way to Utah...


on our way to utah, we had a layover in detroit, and since i had recently been through this airport in the spring, i had a couple of ideas of what to show the kiddos! the boys and haven loved riding on this indoor train that goes from one end to another end of the large terminal building. ciela was a little less excited. we rode it a few times, until the hunger won over play time.


in the center of part of a terminal is this huge, and beautiful, black marble bowl-shaped fountain. the water did all sorts of dances. the best one was when the water would "jump" out like fish and land on the opposite side of the bowl. it was amazing.


throughout the airport were several little play areas for kids. we camped out for a couple hours in a pirate ship spot. haven and cabes had a great time dismanteling the ship and building it back up.


while we waited to board our plane to utah, the kids hung and climbed and swung like the little monkeys they are. ciela even participated in this great fun. if i hadn't been wearing a dress, i would have joined in!
