Whitehall




We took a road trip to Whitehall/Montague today. The White Lake pier is beautiful out there! On the way we witnessed the Air Show. Those jets make my stomach flip. It's so awesome though!




We walked the pier and let the girls wade in the water. Then we went and visited the nearby Mouth Cemetery. We can never go to Whitehall and NOT visit that cemetery. We are addicted! It is one of the oldest cememeteries in Michigan. I've posted a few pics.
Enjoy!

Toy Story 3


I took the kids to see TS3 today and it was really good. I never expect the 2nd or 3rd movie in a series to be as good, but I think that this was the best one of the set...so far. :) Yes, I AM hoping or another one. Bonnie has to grow up too you know! Has anyone else seen it! If so, let me know what you think.

Tornado Warning!


What an amazing storm that was last night! Ok, I was a little scared, but it was still pretty incredible. After waking up to the tornado siren (in my backyard!), I ran upstairs to grab a sleeping baby...who was NOT happy. For the next 40 minutes I hovered over a child that refused to take her hands of her eyes and ears. She was alternating between the 2 and trying to get me to do the same. The other 2 slept through the whole thing. I couldn't believe how much lighting there was! For a minute I thought the siren had lights and that's what I was seeing. Unbelievable but again...incredible!

Tyler's last baseball game was on Saturday. They won 9-8!
Summer has officially begun. Looking forward to weekends at the cabin and lots of camping trips.
If anyone knows of a late 90's early 2000's popup camper for sale, let me know. We are looking for another one. If anyone would like to rent one of our campers, please get a hold of us. Thanks!

Kids are out of school and we are still working. Hey, wait a minute...how does that work!?!
Oh well...at least the kids get a break. No more struggling to get everyone to bed on time or fighting to get homework done. We are now on our own schedule. Yippee!!!
Late night campfires and ice cream! I LOVE summer!
I'm so proud of the kids this past school year. Yes, we had our struggles, but they both passed! Doesn't that count for something?
Alysa graduated from Kindergarten this morning and Tyler made it through 4th grade with mostly A's. He has amazed me this past semester! Hopefully 5th grade treats him well.

This summer was much needed and I hope it doesn't go too fast.
Can't wait to get some camping in and maybe some road trips. Now that Lacey is old enough for longer car rides (with the exception of a few potty breaks) we can experience more of Michigan with less troubles.
Here we come summer!!!

Bored...

Only 3 days into summer and I'm already bored. I guess I got used to the constant driving back and forth to school and actually getting AWAY from the house. Now I have to make up lame excuses just to leave. Hmm...it looks like we might need some milk in the next few days...let's go to the store! Yippee! It's pathetic.
On a more positive note...we bought another camper so we can do more camping and still rent the other one out. If anyone is interested, let me know!
