MI fun

We were lucky enough to find a weekend that worked for both families this summer, so Friday night after work, we headed to St. Joseph to spend the weekend with Blayne, Molly and the boys. 

Started out Saturday morning with a run, some basketball, 4 square, and a walk with Molly and Razzy. 

Then we packed up and headed to the beach. It wasn't the hottest out, but was sunny, so a pretty good day for the sand, maybe not so much the water - it was chilly. 

Kids played lots of spike ball, bottle bash, paddle boarded, catch with a football - and of course crushed sandwiches and snacks. I got to walk the beach and search for beach glass with Molly and Madden too. 

We found time for pizza, ice cream x2, the fountain, some volleyball, even a few games of cancellation hearts. It was a busy and fun weekend! We were on our way home after lunch on Sunday. 

mid June craziness

June 14th - joined Karen, Doug, Don, Jason, and Steve for dinner and dessert for Doug and Don's 80th Birthday. 

June 15th - Rowan had the girls over for a few hours, and this is what I found at one point in the basement. 

Bahaha - practicing their beer pong I guess. 

Then Rowan and I made it to Blake's baseball game - and it got quite chilly by the end. Granny was in her gloves and hood. 

New Jersey trip

Eddie is playing in The Show later this month with Team East Coast. 

They hosted a mini camp this week for the team to have the chance to play together before the tournament. Ed and Eddie made the trip for the 3 day camp. Things started off a little rocky when their flight got cancelled Monday night - they were lucky enough to get out on a Tuesday am flight, and was a little late on the ice Tuesday. 

They went downtown Manhattan Tuesday night with Finn and Ryan - had some cart dogs, ice cream and saw a Broadway show (Neil Diamond). The next day they stayed closer to the hotel and had pizza and relaxed a bit more. Thursday they skated and then flew home. It was a fun experience and Eddie got to meet most of his teammates. 

Weekend wrap up

Grandma Pam was here for a couple of days and got to watch Eddie play baseball with me. 

I met them in DeForest and picked her up for the weekend to get away from home for a little bit. 

Sunday morning, Karen, Grandma and I got pedicures. 

Rowan and Ed wrapped up the weekend of hockey in MN. 

They made many trips to Letterman Sports while they were there - and we now have a rainbow assortment  of hoodies and tees. 

Monday - Rowan and I got to watch Luke play tee-ball, while Ed and Eddie head to New Jersey.
