Enjoying the Beach and Sun in November

Here are 2 things you can't do in Michigan in November!

Kids 7 yr and 9 yr pictures

These were taken a little late this year... better late than never though :) Just ordered them today, so hope to get them in the mail by next week.

Devons 9th Birthday

I'm on a roll... we are in the truck travelling home from Harrisville and not much to do, so might as well put some pictures up that I am behind on...
These are from November.


I took cupcakes to his class at lunch-time.




We had invited one family over for his party, but they ended up having to back out at the last minute... so Devon picked Chuck-E-Cheeses as a place for a family b-day party.

Happy to See our Harrisville Friends again!

It was a happy time for all the kids being together again.... well for us all. So glad to see everyone again!

Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren

When we are all together, its a perfect time to get the generation pictures.

Ron and Jayne's Beautiful Wedding

My little brother is happily married now!! It was a beautiful wedding!

Maple Syrup time

Lots of fun!! Or it is when you only spend a few days doing it :) Last year we missed, but this year we got in on the tapping as well has gathering and boiling. While we were there, we helped make mom and dad's first 11 gallons of maple syrup. This year they have 500 taps on pipeline and 800 taps in buckets. And... we came home with a gallon of maple syrup to enjoy through the year!
