Celebrate Your Marriage

Last Sunday Michelle and I headed for Mackinaw Island for the Celebrate Your Marriage Conference/Seminar.  This is hosted by Jay and Laura Laffoon.  This was our second year to attend and we again had a great time.  This is a very busy 2 days.  The seminar is at the Grand Hotel which is incredible when you look at the history there.  The trip is worth it just for the meals that are included in your stay.  This is a great way to spend time with your wife and celebrate what you share.  I recommend that if you are reading this blog that you take the time to go to this at least once.  I plan on going every year.  I love you Michelle!

Greeted by Mayflies again.

Thank you to all the veterans that made the ultimate sacrifice so that all of us can have the freedom we enjoy today.
God Bless You on this Memorial Day weekend!

We spotted this giant turtle on our hike.
 
Next year we hope to spend an extra day on the island and at the Grand.  There are a lot of things that we would like to do and just don't have the time during the conference. I just can't say enough how much fun we had again.  I can't wait till next year.  I love you Michelle!

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...

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...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
