Winter Break Day One (1)

So the kids started winter break today, Friday, February 15, 2013.  We got out of work early, got home and started packing.  We took the boys, our nephew Scottie and their friends Kayla and Tyler.  There were too many people to put in the van to take one vehicle so we took the truck too.  Everything was packed to capacity in both vehicles. 

We had decided last week to go to Outdoor Adventures in Standish. We got the largest modular they had which is like a house.  Everyone has their own bed and we actually have an extra.  There is not much going on at this camp ground this time of year.  Everyone is at the park in Davison. 

We went to the club house and their were a few people in the pool.  The game room is really out of date and we are not sure the games even work.  We will be visiting Standish tomorrow.

We (Michelle) blew a breaker cooking supper.  But we got the frige going again and the range worked so we survived and had great fajita's.  The guy at the gate was of great assistance and they will be in tomorrow to fix the power issue.

The events in the house were very exciting as we settled in for a movie.

So we are settled in for the night and we will see what tomorrow will bring.  The roads are a little icy up here and there is a lot of snow on the ground.  I hope to get a ride in tomorrow and we may do some bowling.  Until then good night!

Easter

Easter has come and gone.  It was a very busy couple of days.  We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night.  Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday.  We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch.  We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit.     Mom's Work   Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal.  It was given to her on her confirmation.  It is over 100 years old and in German.  Mom also has her bible.  She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church.   We all had a really good time and it was a full day.    On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt.     The kids had fun as always.   We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence.  I got a short ride in on Friday morning.  We then were preparing for a wedding.  Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house.  Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography.  This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out.  It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends.   You may kiss the bride!   We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening.  We got home late and went right to bed.   I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France.  It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race.  I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...
