Snickerdoodle Fun

We had a girls night out at Snickerdoodle art on the 18th. Afterwards, we went for dinner and drink at Smitty's. It was a lot of FUN!

Skin Cancer

Steve had a basal cell skin cancer removed from his lip today. Hopefully this will granulate in on its own and heal nicely.

 

Grandmother

My sweet grandmother, and Conner's Great Grandmother passed away July 15, 2014.

She will be greatly missed. She was one of a kind and loved by everyone who met her.

Conner was especially close to her. Her death is his first real heartache. He's never had to experience loosing someone he was close too. He said he will miss her and he hopes he dreams about her every night so he will never forget her.

 

 

End of Vacation

On Wednesday, we got home at 4:30. It took us exactly 8 hours with one lunch break and 2 potty stops.  While I unpacked, Steve mowed, and Conner made us dinner all by himself. It was wonderful because I didn't have to do anything but the clean up! Love that kid. He is such a thoughtful kid willing to help out always.

We had a great time on vacation and now we are back to reality.

Thanks Aunt Elaine, Mike, and Scott for making our trip memorable.

 

Michigan Day 5

On our last day of vacation, we went to the beach to dig, met Mike at the newly opened beach restaurant, The deck, walked out to the Lighthouse, went to Craigs Cruisers to ride go karts, kiddie carts, and play games. Then, we went back to Aunt Elaine's, and she made a huge meal for us, Scott and Donna, and Mike. We headed to bed early so we could get up and drive home Wednesday.

 

 

Michigan day 4

Monday morning, we got up and ate breakfast at the Great wolf Lodge. We checked out and headed to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Conner was a baby the last time he came to the Dunes, so this was really his first time to experience it. The weather was beautiful. He loved climbing and digging in the sand.

We stopped for Pizza in Manistee and headed back to Muskegon. Aunt Elaine made us another yummy supper.

 

Michigan Day 3

On Sunday Morning, we headed to Taverse City. We went to the Cherry Festival and watched the Blue Angels. Then, we went to check into our hotel at the Great wolf Lodge. Conner had been looking forward to this hotel for months. He knew he had his own bunk bed, tv, and bunk house den. One of the first things he had to do was jump on the hotel bed! That is a must for him.

We went down to the water park, explored the hotel, had dinner, and attended the bedtime story in the lobby. The hotel was great.
