Oh the kids had fun with this! Our friend has a big fishing boat that can go out on the open water on Lake Michigan. It has a large motor, and it worked VERY well in the tubing department. He […]
Family
On the 4th of July weekend, we went up a little early to our friend’s cabin in the great northwoods. Our friend had his big fishing boat that he usually docks on Lake Michigan for serious fishing (a.k.a. Salmon). Luckily […]
I have gone back and forth over how I update this blog and the content. I have decided that I am going to move my crafty stuff over to another blog I have had for several years. It was a […]
I am not a big fan of going outside when it is cold out (I obviously live in the wrong climate). However, we do occasionally venture outside for some winter outside activities…as long as they don’t take too long. We […]
Time for another World’s Toughest Rodeo! We made sure Kai had his allergy meds before we went to the rodeo, and he was good to go! Both kids got soda and other sugary treats so they would be able […]

The kids finished up their softball and baseball seasons, and we had our nights and weekends free for two whole weeks before football starts up on us this week. Kai’s team this past year was less challenging that the year […]
On Friday I got off work a little early, so I thought I would try to get down to the lake and see how high it might have gotten from the rainstorm/monsoon on Wednesday night into Thursday afternoon. I was luckily able […]
