Hi Everyone, Last week we spent from Tues. through Sunday at Metamora/Hadley State Park. We were there with the Sunnysiders who we camp with. There were over 40 Adults and 22+ kids. We had a great time. We weathered the rain but as you can see from some of the pictures the kids loved the mud hole the rain left behind. We cherish the memories that we make every time we are together. The Grand-kids had a great time fishing, swimming, and make new friends. Gary and I left the park on Sunday and drove home, dropped off the grand-kids and Cristan and headed for Fremont, OH to get the awning on our trailer looked at. So it was a busy week but one we really enjoyed! We are off to Traverse City in the morning after picking up my Mom from the Flint airport and heading to my brother in law's cabin. I have not celebrated a birthday with my Mom in years so it is nice that my sister and brother in law are allowing my Mom and Aunt and Uncle to come and share the time with us this year. My Mom turned 76 in June, my Aunt will be 70 on Tuesday and Of course most of you know that I will be 50 in August. So we will be celebrating these milestones together. I will chat with you all soon. Hope that you are enjoying the heat and the sunshine! I Love Summer!

Blessings,
Grandma Cheryl

Camping with the Sunnysider Families at Metamora State Park

The Kids enjoyed the mud after the rain moved through!

Elizabeth enjoyed sitting under the awning on a Hot Summer Day! Isn't she getting so big!

Hi Everyone: Here are a few pictures of the little pool that My Mom got for the great-grand boys to enjoy, oh Elizabeth too! Between their Dad and PaPa they got it up and running. Josiah was a little shy about getting in, but Josiah is usually a little more reserve about things then Jeremiah. But once he warmed up things went a little better. Elizabeth is waiting for the water to warm up. Jeremiah stayed in so long Cristan said he needed a warm bath to warm up! It's suppose to be in the 80's all weekend here so the water should reach a nice temperature soon.
As you can see, Cristan put in a nice little garden for herself and it looks great. Elizabeth was enjoying the swing while the boys were trying to enjoy the pool!

Hope you all have a great fourth of July weekend. We will be home, no camping this Holiday weekend. Take in some fireworks some where!

God Bless America!
