For Tori:

Grandpa Don comes to visit

Grandpa Don came for a weekend visit the end of July. He is the kids grandfather and great-grandfather and lives in Central Texas. We had a wonderful time. It was Art on the Rocks and he is a VERY good painter so it gave us something to do that we all enjoyed. He bought the kids a WII Fit. They are having a great time with it. It will probably be a real good thing to have this winter. He also got them these real cool coloring books at Art on the Rocks. They were made by an artist. The kids made pictures for Grandpa to take home.

St. Ignace and Mackinac City

Back in July we took a trip to Burt Lake in lower Michigan to visit with Jon and Lauren's relatives from their biological father's side of the family. They are really great people and we had a wonderful time. After visiting we made our way back to Mackinac City where we shopped, ate dinner and took in a very cool laser light show in the evening. Our motel was in St. Ignace so we spent the next day there taking in some of the cool historical things they have to offer. Really an impressive place.
