This past week we had the opportunity to have my parents in town. While they were in town we stayed VERY busy! We took a day to go and see Grandma, my dad’s mom, in Grand Rapids. After lunch and several pictures we headed to Silver Beach and spent a couple hours soaking up some sun, sand, and water! Definitely a full day. I don’t risk sand in my camera so I only have pictures of our time with Grandma, but I won’t need pictures to remember a day well spent at the beach!
A little playground time at the nursing home.Gives the kids an opportunity to stretch their legs after the long drive up.
Just before my parents arrived we discovered a produce auction! We, of course, went, and purchased a bit of organic produce to keep us busy canning!!!!!!! Applesauce, spaghetti sauce, and frozen pumpkin were the main accomplishments of the week….let’s just say I’m ready for a break from canning.
Some were a little more helpful than others:)
Unfortunately I forgot my camera yesterday when my mom took us to breakfast and to play “Putt-Putt” golf, as my father calls it. We had a great time and of course the kids wanted to “stay there forever” but one game was enough for the adults. London figured the game out quickly….hit the ball hard, wherever it lands pick it up and move it right next to the hole, tap it in and everyone cheers…good plan. I think Harrison thought we were playing real golf as he attempted to hit it out of the course with each swing. Lucky for us (and anyone else who might have wanted to golf that day) no one else was there. Great day to golf with kids!
As always it was so nice to have my parents in for a visit. My dad left for home this morning and my mom will follow tomorrow morning. After that we will pack up to leave for our annual Labor Day weekend camping trip. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend…as I’m sure we will.
