Some Summer Fun '09

A few weekends ago Jerome, Anne, Kami and Jordan were able to head up north for a quick camping trip at Clear Lake, MI. We were able to spend time with Jerome's BFF Mike Hughes and his family. It was a fast and furious trip but we had a good time reaquainting with Mike's kids and grand kids and it's always great to see Mike!








This floral arrangement made it's way to our 'garden' the year Jerom'e son Justin died (2006). The plant was at his funeral service and then given to us to plant at home. Each year it comes back healthy and strong and larger than the year before.



For the 4th of July we headed downtown with Kami, Jordan and Andrew. We didn't come prepared with snacks or drinks of our own so Jerome and Jordan headed out to buy some...45 minutes and a 2 mile walk lagter they returned. Next time we WILL be bring our own! We picked a great spot on the grass and had a great view of a tree (we sat behind the same tree two years ago). When the fireworks started we picked up the chairs and moved "a bit to our left" and had a great view. We love going downtown to people watch and spend time together making some happy memories!
