Mid June Update

I thought I would give a quick update.  The kids are out of school and summer is on it's way.  The grass has been growing like crazy.  I am cutting it twice a week and could probably do it three times a week.

Next Tuesday Church Youth Camp starts.  We are again having it at Outdoor Adventures in Davison.  We have most of the pre cooked meals complete and frozen.  We check into the park on Sunday and will start our set up and preparation for the kids to arrive.

This also marks the kick off of official Ore to Shore training.  I have used church camp as my training camp for Ore to Shore for the last two years and it has worked out well.  This year I hope to have a riding partner.  JJ needs to keep training as we are doing the Soft Rock together this year.  We have been doing some base miles and are just coming off a week off the bike.  We did 15 miles last night and need to build up to some 40 mile rides.  After camp week we need to get some trail riding in.  Hoping to make a trip to Island Lake as well as Stoney Creek.

I will post again after Sunday and our Father's Day celebration.

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...

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.
