Girls Weekend

This weekend Kelly and I had a sleepover with Jackie and Grace!  It was a HOT weekend so we spent a lot of time at the pool and Kelly's, we stayed up late, made pancakes, had pizza, played Pokemon, and went to see the movie The Secret Life of Pets with Austin, Ava, Abby, and Papa!  It was a fun sleepover and we were all tired on Saturday night!  Sunday in between the storms, we went blueberry picking at Bowereman's.  Grace loves blueberries but recently she refused to eat them.  When we got out to the fields she remembered how much she like blueberries.  At one point she looked at Kelly and I and said, "mmmmm these are GOOD!  I am going to eat them until I puke!"  Oh Gracie, you always make us laugh!  She must have remembered a few years ago when she did eat them until she puked!

4th of July

4th of July was a little different this year, Tara and Adam and the girls were flying home from Alaska so we missed them, Ross was working, Andrea is out East working, Grant and Karly were with their friends.  It was a smaller crowd, maybe a little quieter, but still fun!  It was a nice day down at the beach at Jason and Abby's!  We played in the water, on the sand and with the kids.  About 3:30 the food festivities began, it started with me making guacamole, as soon as that was done we started to boil the water for our shrimp boil.  Shrimp boil is not really an accurate term because my Aunt Cheryl got King Crab Legs, Shrimp, and Scallops!  If you have never done a shrimp boil, I highly recommend it!  As Abby was saying "Put a Little South in Your Mouth!"  It was fabulous and I am sure that we all went home full.  As if that wasn't enough, there was ice cream cones, and an awesome shrimp boil themed cake made by Judy (it was really a key lime cake that also was fabulous). 

 

We had a great time, thanks to Abby and Jason for hosting, and Aunt Cheryl for all the great seafood!  Looking forward to the next Faasse family party, as always!  Saturday, my dad, Adam, my Aunt Sharon, and I are playing in the Dean Wierenga Memorial Golf Classic.  And next week, we are heading to Michigan's Adventure with the kids, should be an adventure!
