MI Getaway- Part 1

Do you remember the song from Capt. Kangaroo.... It's time for skiing, biking, boating, rowing, towing, hiking.... don't remember the middle.... There's so much to do, these things are just a few!! Pictures would flash up of all the activities and it all looked like so much fun!! Oh, if only I could sing it for you, I know you would remember! Ha!! Anyway, this was the song stuck in my head the whole time we were in MI because there was just so much to do, and we had a blast! The boys went boating, tubing, sailing, kayaking, paddle boating, and fishing! They also dug in the sand, played in the waves at Lake MI, rolled down the sandy hill, ate yummy food, played corn hole, and we even made time for an ER visit! Grant stuck a long skinny lego into Grady's ear just to see what would happen. It ruptured Grady's ear drum(as if that kid needed to loose any hearing!!!)! :) After a 15 minute ER visit, and two antibiotics, Grady is just fine! Whew! I think a lesson was learned too!

Gilli and I spent a lot of time on the boat watching the boys tube!
We both enjoyed cuddling on the boat together!
Grant, watching Jeremy(dad's roommate from TU) ski. That smile says it all!
Grady also enjoyed time on the boat!
All three boys tubing together! They LOVED it! They were very daring(don't worry, mom, they were safe!!)! :)


Gerald and Jeremy just got back from sailing around the lake.
Time to play a little cornhole!

Jeremy and Grant, shooting the breeze!
Grady and Matt(another TU friend of Gerald's) are swinging on the hammock. Grady adored Matt and followed him around everywhere(even to the bathroom)! HA! Thanks for putting up with the Grady Monster, Matt!! :)

I am making a mental note not to let Sophia have Lego blocks! Yikes. Glad he is ok :)

I grew up spending my summers on a boat with tubing and skiing...so much fun!

Glad we finally had the chance to meet!

Glad to see some more pics from your trip...looks like it was a lot of fun! And the lego story just cracks me up. I know it probably wasn't fun for all of you who were involved (esp. Grady), but such a classic story!
Love,
Jenny
