We spent Memorial Day at Abby and Jason's house this year! I am hoping that Abby has some good pictures because amidst all the activity I didn't take any. The afternoon was spent updating some of Jason's landscaping, including planting a 10ft tall birch tree, about 25 grasses and some new shrubs. Thanks to his neighbor Carlos, my dad, Cheryl, Jason and myself, it doesn't look half bad, in fact the tree looks great. Once everyone else arrived it was down to the beach for some fishing, sand castle building and throwing of golf balls. It was fun to watch everything, but the best was watching the kids "fishing!" Paul and Gary were really doing the fishing but once they had one on and about reeled in then the kids would take over and shout "look what I caught!" At one point Austin was ordering fish as if it were a drive through..."I want a bass next time," he would say and then squeal at the top of his lungs when one was hooked! I think Grandpa Ed got the most enjoyment out of watching the fishing, my dad talked to my Aunt Sharon yesterday and she said he is still talking about it.
We had burgers for dinner, with fruit and corn and chips, but the highlight of the meal was watching when Abby emerged with the M + M cones that I had bought for dessert. The kids (big and small) all enjoyed them. When I saw them at Meijer I had to have them, they reminded me of Grandma Jackie, and they were on sale (BONUS)! It was a great day and a good start to the summer! Can't wait to spend some more time down on the shore at Abby and Jason's!
On Sunday we took Jackie and Grace blueberry picking! Jackie had fun in the bounce house and riding the pink cow...Grace LOVED eating the blueberries! We went to Bowerman's, if you haven't been there, you should check it out, great blueberries and lots of stuff for kids to do!
Don't these photos just say summer!?! The last few weekends I have spent some time over at the Roger's house playing with the kids on the beach. And boy do they love it down there, who wouldn't, fishing, sand castles, swimming, paddle boat and paddle board ride! And aren't the picture great, Abby took them, thanks Abby, I love them!
