Friday night we all went to Rosie's Diner for dinner and then had s'mores at Mousels. Don't have pictures of s'mores, but here is a SHORT video and a picture at Rosie's. This was an American Heritage Experience all the way. Turns out we had taken Jina there 14 years ago whem she was here...we know this because when we drove up she had a deja vu experience.

First Sunday family gathering

Today we hosted the family gathering, and luckily the weather was great so we could go up to Sherwood and play baseball and on the playground. Also, Louie is a GREAT Batman fan (for the last year or so he has always worn something Batman when we see him!). You can see his new costume here. And we showed him the photo of Avari in her Batman outfit...but he thought hers not quite as good because it didn't have sleeves and a mask!

Labor Day

TheKatiwoda family has been asking to see Lake Michigan for many weeks, so we decided Labor Day was a time to do that....a gtood decision because all of them had time off, but a bad decision because so did everyone else in western Michigan! But, we ploughed through, and at least they got to see the lake and a family who have been their friends for year and actually came to Michigan with them. That family settled in Grand Haven so we stopped to see them too. Here are a couple pictures from the day.
