Greetings, friends and family! The last two weeks have been busy and fun-filled. I wanted to update everyone on what we're doing....
Craig and I were blessed enough to fly out to Denver for a long weekend two weekends ago. Thank you, Aunt Cindy, for your hospitality! We always appreciate your generosity! Thank you, Rob and Joyel, for your hospitality...we could not have made the trip without your 'help'. Thanks! We had so much fun. We went to our favorite restaurants, went golfing (ugh...you'd think a reasonably athletic person could hit a stationary ball off a tee...no?) saw old friends (Thanks, Dave and Tricia for generosity on our evening together....we enjoyed our time with you so much!) I think, as I get older, I realize how much I cherish my old friendships. The familiarity of them. We laughed a lot on our trip....a lot!!!! (which is one of my favorite things to do) We also got to see Scott and his family. Scott and Erika, thank you so much for making the trek down to Castle Rock with 4 boys and a dog. We greatly appreciate your sacrifice. It was so fun to see both of you and the boys.....getting so big.
Jack and Heath spent the weekend at my parents.."Camp Grandma and Grandpa". They had a blast. Boating, swimming, s'mores, biking, trip to the movies...thanks, Mom and Dad!
After we got home from the west, we went up north (we're well traveled) for the 4th of July. We got to see two sets of fire works. Bay Harbor on Friday night (So good!) and then Mackinaw's Saturday night (So good!) We spent the weekend with Jim and Sue. Thanks for letting us stay with you...we had so much fun! We went to a water park, Dairy Queen, and played outside. The boys thought it was pretty cool that they got to see fireworks two nights in a row. (and stay up late)
Our last day up north we spent at the lakehouse. I got my first tutorial on driving the boat. That's right I'm taking over the reigns as captain. (you've been warned) We got to see my Uncle Rick as well, which is always nice. Of course, every good time must come to an end...we ended our time with a trip to the Cheboygan ER. Jack slipped off the boat trailer and got 4 stitches in his head.....we weren't going to leave with just a kiss and hug goodbye. If you can't leave with a bang....I mean, what's the point. (ugh)
Overall, our first vacation of the summer was a hit! We are anxiously awaiting our family reunion at the end of this month! Yay!
