August 2010

Things we did in August....

5th - Went blueberry picking with friends in Leslie. Picked approximately 8 pounds. Love to freeze them and then snack. Taste just like candy.

6th - We went to East Lansing Aquatic Center with Grandma S. and friends. Little went down the big slide for the first time. Little C had fun playing with AP.

7th - Big D completed many iron art pieces. Green Wall, Chimes, Positive/Negative, etc.

8th - We went to Warren Dunes State Park with friends. The waves were gargantuan and the lake was approximately 70 degrees.

11th - Kalamazoo County Fair : We went with Grandma Stone and Little AP (little C's friend). Little D rode a big girl ride for the first time. It was called the Fire Ball and it went high in the sky and spun around. I rode it with her about 10 times and then she rode it alone for a few more times. Such a brave girl.

14th - Thompson Harbor State Park: The family stayed at the Stone Path cabin out in the middle of no-where. It was so peaceful an serene. It was difficult to find but well worth it. Lake Huron in Thunderbay in Alpena was absolutely wonderful. We are definitely going to do this trip again. We enjoyed the view of Presque light house.

20th - Z celebrated his 15th birthday with a mountain of spaghetti, cookie dough ice cream cake, movie, and luncheon at a park in K-zoo.

21st - I celebrated at Monkey's (my cuz) house warming party. She sure knows how to throw a good party.

24th - The girls of the family got the their back to school hair cuts. Little D told the beautician exactly what she wanted. Wow... does this really start happening at 7 yrs old?

25th - We went to the kids school orientation

28th - Big D and I went on our 4th annual trip to Hartwick Pines State park for Black Iron Days. A vacation for just the two of us! Date weekend.
