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  The game room is really out of date and we are not sure the games even work.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.

Scottie under attack!
 
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!

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...

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...
