Warren Dunes State Park

Warren Dunes State Park
We spent the day at the dunes! We had great fun playing in the sand, water and clay! It was Jeanna's first visit to Lake Michigan and she was impressed by the size of it! The water was cold and refreshing and then we walked along the river away from Lake Michigan to the clay pits. The kids had a blast and the adults tried to keep up. We smeared mud all over and for once didn't bug the kids about getting dirty. Then we walked back to Lake Michigan and rinsed off. After a while longer in the sand and water we headed home to celebrate Jeremiah's third birthday. We had a Toy Story theme--his current favorite--and had cake and ice cream. What a wonderful summer memory!

2010 6/5 Deam's Lake

We headed to Deam Lake yesterday. it was nice for Jessica to get out of the house for a little while. She has been recovering from having her adenoids and tonsils removed and having ear tubes put in. We only stayed for a bout two hours but we had time to cool off, splash around and play n the sand. We haven't been there since we moved and were pleased to realize it was less than 10 minutes from our house and only $5 for all of us to get in. I think we may be heading back again this summer!

Jessica's Surgery

So Jessica had her turn under the knife today. She had her tonsils and adenoids removed and ear tubes placed in. She will be taking it easy for a little while, but received one compliment after another about what a great little patient she was. We are wrapping up the school year and starting off the summer. The kids will be at four different schools next year! Wow!
