Airplanes and Fish

Since my Grandpa Stegink is a WW2 Vet, he was able to have a ride on this airplane. Because it was in Kalamazoo, the kids and I tagged along so that they could see the airplane and experience watching it take off and land on the grass runway. Aliyah didn't want to look for the picture because the pilot was taking it . . . so shy! My Grandpa had a great time! It was a little long for the kids, but they did well. After his flight, we all headed over to The Fish Hatchery for a picnic lunch and to feed the fish! It was a great day!!

Van Buren State Park 2013

This camping trip will go down in history as one of the hottest ever! Oh my goodness!! It was easily in the 90s for most of the weekend and so humid. We came out on Thursday and I actually went home Thursday night so that Karys and I could sleep in air conditioning. Karys hates hot weather and it is so miserable to nurse her in humid, sticky weather. We came back out on Friday morning and stayed for the rest of the weekend. It was still hot, but not unbearable like the first night. Thank goodness for Lake Michigan! It was a great weekend with the Pierces and the Brashears. The only bummer was that Aliyah and Samuel got stung a couple of times running through the woods between our campsite and my parent's campsite.
