Dakota Homecoming Parade

Today was the Dakota homecoming parade.  It goes right down Heydenreich, so we sat in our backyard and watched it go by- and the kids got a bunch of candy that they threw!

Stoney Creek Metropark

My mom's group does a thing during the summer called "playground of the week", and this week was at stoney creek.  We had a good time playing, then Megan and I decided to go for a bike ride.  I towed the kids in the trailer.  It was all downhill from there, or maybe uphill is more appropriate!  I got a flat tire, so we stopped at the beach and filled it up.  Then we got about half way around the 6 mile trail (it seemed like it was all uphill) and the sky turned pitch black, and the thunder was right on top of us.  We turned around and got caught in the rain just before we made it to the beach again.  My tire was flat again, but we waited out the storm, then high-tailed it back to winter cove where our car was.  On the way home, Megan and I decided that no matter how miserable we were at the moment, we would laugh about it later.  Are you laughing yet, Megan???

Congrats Megan...

On your graduation! Today was Megan's graduation party, and we had a great time! We love Megan, and are excited to support her as she goes to Macomb Community College in the fall. We are especially excited that she will be staying home and we can help her with her homework! Yeah Megan!

Strawberries!!!

Hannah, Megan and I took the boys strawberry picking at Blakes. We got a TON. Lance loved picking them and eating them, Roman enjoyed dumping my basket and sticking his fingers through the strawberries. Then they ran through the dirt fields for awhile before heading back. Check out those beautiful strawberries!

Winter Fun

We took advantage of all the snow and had a blast out there!  It was a little chilly, but we sledded down the hill, had a snowball fight, and even built a snowman!  Roman and Lance both had a blast- even Megan joined in the fun.  Before we knew it all the kids on our street were playing with us!  What a great time!
