This morning we decided to go see the fly in and have breakfast there for Father's Day. Little did we know they were offering plane rides and Papa Mark sent the boys and their Dad up into the wild blue yonder for a ride around Grand Haven. They were very excited until the pilot had to get out to check the plane, there was a problem with a guage of some sort and while they had time to think about it they got scared and started to cry. I wasn't so thrilled either since my entire family was going up in the plane!
We got the all clear and the boys hopped back in and buckled up. We didn't think that we should have gotten them their booster seats so they could have seen better but they did ok. Jeff says there was a lot of chatter between them pointing out the shore, their school, the beach, the pier, the drawbridge, their favorite fire station and all. They LOVED the ride!!
You could see how dark the Grand River is as it flowed into the lake, we have had so much rain and flooding from storms this week and the river is really high and rising. It is supposed to continue for a few more days. I got called into work Friday night, they were really busy with calls from Holland area residents who were totally flooded out and many roads washed out. It's been a rough spring so we are happy to welcome summer today.
Now, the boys are off on a camping trip with Grandma and Papa and will be gone for two nights in Muskegon, minus coming home for t-ball tomorrow and pending any thunderstorms. Don't fear for the little darlings, they aren't exactly roughing it, they're camping in this:
Camping: Kelley boy style!
We're looking forward to the Newmans arriving this week, they are taking the boys to a family reunion at Crystal Mountain next weekend and we have more friends coming for the 4th of July! Good times ahead!!
