Grand Haven..fun in the sun

Yesterday we went to Grand Haven (I worked half a day to spend at the beach!!) with Melanne and Natalie. It wasn't very sunny, but it was nice. The water was cold at first, but once you got in it was just fine. After about four hours of swimming and frolicking on the beach, we drove off down the strip. We went to Sam's Tacos for dinner. (Great food!) Then we walked down the marina toward the pier. We watched the sunset and headed over to Temptations for some icecream and homemade waffle cones. While we ate our icecream, we watched the musical fountain. It was great! The kids really enjoyed it, although they were a little tired. We had a great time and can't wait to go back. Here are some pics and a video of the kids.

Camp Roger

The kids went to Camp Roger from July 3 to July 10. They had a good time. There were a few tears (from Raven) when I was ready to leave, but all in all it went well. Michael couldn't get rid of me fast enough, he wouldn't even let me help him unpack!!

After dropping them off I went to Jellystone in Grand Haven to meet mom, Melanne, Natalie and Morgan for camping. It was pretty fun. The rain the day before had given us a mote around our site which sucked becasue of the mosquitos. Morgan and I had a gaming tournament on Friday, we played pool, air hockey, racing video games and skee ball. I won!! I know, she's 11, but she would have kicked my butt and I never would have heard the end of it, so I kicked her butt instead! (I'm such a great aunt!! LOL)

I also started working out with a trainer everyday at lunch. It's nice because the gym is next door to work, so there's no excuse for me not to go. This is my third week and I feel pretty good.

Here are some pics that were taken at Camp Roger of the kids.
