Rollhaven - July 18th

Last Sunday, Jason took Connor, Jillian and Andrea's daughter, Meaghan, to Rollhaven in Grand Blanc for roller skating and arcade games. Grandpa & Grandma went up there to watch them and then we all went to Jason's house for dinner. We have so enjoyed our summer with the grandkids, but sure wish we could have seen them more.

Bob's Birthday & Father's Day

Bob's 65th Birthday was last Thursday. Ericka made him her scrumptious carrot cake. We went to Lucky's Steakhouse in Davison for dinner and it was delicious! He's now on Medicare...dang he's OLD!!! He keeps wishing I was old enough to draw social security, but he's got 4 1/2 years to wait on that. He's still counting it down...

Father's Day was spent at Lakeshore Resort in Davison. Jason & the kids came out. They went kayaking on the lake. Bob went down to the lake to tell them to come back because it was time to go to my parents. On the way back to our campsite Jason & Connor had a collision with their bikes. Connor has pegs sticking out from his wheels and one of his front pegs went into the spokes of Jason's front wheel and stopped Jason "right now". Jason flew off his bike and landed on Connor. Bob & Jillian watched it happen, but it happened so fast that Bob could not do anything to prevent it or help them. Jason was pretty badly bruised and sore. Connor did not seem to be hurt at all. Thank goodness! I could have been much, much worse. Jason kept teasing Connor that he really liked the gifts they gave him yesterday morning and he didn't have to give him all those bruises and a wrecked bike for Father's Day. :-) By the time that was all over, it was too late for Jason & the kids to follow us to my parents, so they left to go home. It was just as well, since when we got there my parents weren't home. :-(

Last night Dan & Cheryl stopped by and brought Bob some of her famous Gorilla Bread that he loves. I don't what he's doing to have all these young women baking for him. :-)

Summer in Michigan

We've been having lots of fun in Michigan...especially when the grandkids are with us. Here's some random pictures of the kids.

Back in Michigan

We arrrived back in Michigan on May 4th. We spent the night before in Shipshewana, IN and had dinner at Das Dutchman Essenhaus in Middlebury. M-m-m-m-m!!! Always delicious! We spent our 1st week back at Lakeshore Resort in Davison and then went to Waldenwoods for 3 weeks. We came back to Davison this week on Tuesday for a week and then we'll be back at Waldenwoods for the 4th of July holiday. When we pulled into our campsite on Tuesday, a couple pulled up and started waving at us and we had no idea who they were. As soon as they got out of their truck we realized they were a couple that we camped with at Swamp Fox Campground in Florence, SC last fall. This is such a fantastic lifestyle! We meet so many wonderful people and then we we least expect it, we run into them again on the road. This IS the life!!! Jason, Connor & Jillian have spent the last 2 weekends with us and will be with us in Davison this weekend. We have sooooo enjoyed having them with us!

We have already started planning our winter trip out West. We are planning to attend the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta in early October.

Batesville, Indiana

We arrived on Tuesday at the Thousand Trails & NACO-Indian Trails Park in Batesville, Indiana. This is one of our membership parks that we have stayed at before and we really like this park. It is very big and has a lot to offer. It is about 30 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio. We will leave here on Monday morning and go to Shipshewana, IN for just one night and then on Tuesday we will finally be back in Michigan, at our membership park in Davison. We are sooooo anxious to see Connor & Jillian, as well as the rest of the family and friends.

Vilano Beach, Atlantic Ocean

After we left the Fountain of Youth, we drove to the ocean. I wanted to go to Porpoise Point and see if we could see any dolphins or porpoises. NOT ONE!!! The trend continues. :-( Vilvano Beach is one that you can drive on. It was a little breezy, but a warm, sunny, beautiful day. As you can tell by the pictures below, I was having fun catching the birds in flight. We also watched a windsurfer and some kayakers bobbing in the choppy waters.

Juan Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth

Today we visited the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine. It was so interesting and informative. To think that we were standing where Ponce de Leon arrived in 1513 is amazing. We drank some of the mineral water from the Fountain of Youth Spring, although we don't expect to return to our youth any time soon. Tomorrow morning we head out to Georgia on our trek north to Michigan.
