Finally made it to Thomas the Train

I have been promising the kids to do this for 3 years now, and it finally worked out. Thomas is only in Michigan for 2 weekends a year and last year we were in Arizona. I wondered if Devon would be too old to enjoy it, but he was glad we went and had just as much fun as Kylee. In Flint the track that Thomas comes to is the longest in the nation, so we got a 40 minute ride!




The curve was long enough that we could see Thomas pulling us! We were in the 2nd to last car.

Beach Days!

We had many fun times at the beach this year. It is so handy to have it only 1/2 mile away from our house! Easy to run down there for a couple of hours on a hot day. The kids really enjoyed the windy days - they loved the waves. Here are a couple of pictures from one of those days.




You can almost hear Devons squeal in this picture :)

Fun at the Fair

The fair is always fun. And we happened to meet some friends by chance while we were there, so that made it even more fun!






With Blake and Blaire Dellar




Whats the fair without cotton candy???

Going Fishing!!

Scott and the kids did ALOT of fishing this summer. Most of the time they would go in the kayak. But a few times they went with Larry and Tami - they have a pontoon boat. The kids preferred that because there was more room to move around. A couple of times I went. This particular time I was with them, the fish were really biting. At times, a fish wasn't off someones line, before someone else caught one. Was kinda fun! I enjoy getting out and relaxing if its a nice day.




Devon doesn't mind doing the yucky job :)




And... THE catch of the day hehe! Yes its a turtle. Had a good laugh at that one because we saw many turtles and a comment was made, "Watch someone catch a turtle." And Devon was the lucky one!

Summer Vacation to The Canada Grandma and Grandpas
