Visiting mom and dad

We had a great time on the boat (Martin yells "faster Grandpa!!) and playing on an island beach. Both the kids are getting better at swimming, and it is so much fun the watch them enjoy these visits so much!!


We visited with mom and dad for a weekend at the end of July and had a blast!! the kids, mom, and I all went blueberry picking at Bill and Gloria's house. They live across the street from my parents and have a beautiful yard that reminds me of a botanical garden!

Tigers (I mean Braves) baseball game

We had a blast going to see the Tigers when they were in town playing the Braves. It was a HOT day so the kids didn't last too long in the stands. They did enjoy seeing the bullpen though, and Grace loved to make the "roar" sound when the Tigers were up to bat. We also stopped by the Varsity on the way home so Eric could finally try it. He commented on how greasy everything was!! I have to agree! The kids liked the hats!

In early July we visited the Johnston family for some fun!! We enjoyed a great weekend of playing and swimming. The kids are growing up so fast--it is so nice to see them often.
