All in a Weekend's Work!

We decided to cram in a lot of things last weekend! By the end we were happy and over tired, but it was well worth every minute!

Friday
I talked Ben into taking the day off and we headed to Grand Haven for the day. The Janiczek's met up with us later in the day, too. It was so fun to have family time and it was also the only day we had as "just us" to celebrate our 7 year anniversary. We had so much fun! Click on picture below to see more pics from that day.

Saturday
Saturday was my dad's big day. In the morning the boys went canoeing (don't ask me why they got to go and Jocelyn and I didn't, but that's another thing entirely, I suppose) with my dad and about 60 other people in honor of the man with whom my dad sculpted. During this time, Jocelyn and I with kids in tow headed over to Trina's to help set-up. The kids we given the opportunity to play in the two enormous jumping toys while we did what we could to help out (which wasn't much, Trina had already done so much). Then we all headed to the unveiling. This was a very nice hour ceremony and my dad looked so proud and we of him! The sculpture stands along the river in our hometown, very cool, indeed. After the unveiling there was a retirement party for Dad back at his house. Many old faces and familiar friends stopped in to say hi. It was such a fun evening!!!

Sunday
We spent the afternoon with Ben's side of the family at a Lugnuts game in Lansing. It started off as a very rainy day, but cleared up nicely for the game. It was a nice afternoon spent with family. Pics below.

Father's Day

Father's Day 2010

This past weekend was a busy one. Saturday was the 2nd annual "Breakfast on the Farm" were a local farm gives you a free breakfast and lets you tour their farm. This was a large event (they estimate 3,000-4,000 people were there), then after that we headed to my friend Lottie's parents house. She was hosting a pool party. It was a nice casual afternoon at the pool and I got to see her son who is 4 months old, too! After all of that we met back up with daddy (he had been volunteering at the breakfast thing then had a golf outing in the afternoon) and went to Louie and Jenny's party. Sunday we headed up to Grandma at the Lake's house. We all love it there. Katie joined us and we all relaxed and played in the lake. On our way home we went to my dad's house and saw their new back porch. I'll try and get pictures up of this, but it is something beautiful for sure! It was a a nice weekend!
