Jonathan's parents came for an almost 2-week visit the day after school was out. We had a fun time doing some sight-seeing in the area, as well as two overnight trips to Toledo and Holland/Grand Rapids. Jonathan and I also had a chance to get away one night to celebrate our anniversary.
Here it's time for some baseball in Uncle Buck and Aunt Eleanor's back yard.
At the Dutch village in Holland. The boys were just the right age for the small rides and activities they had there--ferris wheel, zip line, carousel, slide. They wanted to do these railroad cars several times.
We went to Fredrick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. There was a pretty big children's area. I thought this water play area shaped like the Great Lakes was really neat!
Giant horse sculpture in the gardens.
Watching the fish.
Dunes at Van Buren State Park.
Sunset in our back yard.
Strawberry picking--grandma, the boys, and I picked 20 lbs while the men golfed. I made jam, bread, pie, strawberry lemonade, salad, and froze some of them.
If you look closely, you can see a butterfly on Benjamin's shoulder. This was in a butterfly house at a nature center close to our house.
Happy Father's Day! Benjamin was the only male who stayed awake that afternoon!
Movie star glasses! Rumor has it they really improve your golf game!
