Summer vacation begins







In the last week the boys have been from one end of Michigan to the other. They saw all of their grandparents and had some adventures.

First, Grandma Cindy and Papa Terry came for two days. Matthew wasn't feeling well the first day but he got good care and recovered quickly. Jonathan proudly made chocolate chip muffins with Grandma and shared them with us all although I think he ate most of them as they kept disappearing off the counter. They also had some bike rides and helped Papa do some work around our house. Thanks Papa!!

Then, we had our first venture into Papa Mark's pool. The heater was broken so we didn't spend much time in the 60 degree water but the boys got all the boys pools out and tried out their new pool nets. We think Papa needs to hire them as pool boys.

We had Papa Pete and Papa Mark (and Grandma Kris too) for an early Father's Day dinner made by Daddy. He spoiled us with ribs, potatoes and strawberry shortcake.

We met up with Grammy in Lansing and traded off the boys last Thursday. She took them to Grosse Pointe for the weekend. They spent some time at the Farms Pier and swam and played, hit the Village for the Thursday night concert (and of course had some ice cream), went to an ice cream social and a Tigers game with a group from Grammy's church. Grammy says she got a good workout hiking up and down the steps at the game getting boys food! They met the daughter of the minister who is five and they thought she was pretty cute. They also enjoyed the outside church service Sunday afternoon. They met up with Jeff and traded back yesterday, we missed our boys. They had a great time, thanks Grammy!

This week has more adventures in store for our young adventurers....stay tuned.
