Saturday July 5th, Zoo and riding.

We started the next day with breakfast at Janies and then headed out to the zoo on Hwy 2. The guys took motorcycles, mom rode with dad, Ladonna rode with grandpa and Tyler and I followed in the car.

Here we stoped at a little shop/motel called Hog Heaven.


Next we came to the zoo.



The baby ringtail lemur was something new for me.



We stopped at a bar so Tyler could pose with this bear.


Grandpa took us to this woodsy rest area and Ron posed for a shot.




When we arrived back at pickford for fish we took this family shot with the Harley Heritage Softail that Ben had borrowed from Bob for the weekend.

Later we had a fire at the cabin and Tyler used up the rest of his sparklers.

4th of July Festivities

We went with mom, dad and ron up to the U.P. for the 4th of July, where my grandpa Ron and Ladonna are. We stayed with a family friend Janie and had a great time.

The boys drove motorcycles and mom and I followed with Tyler in our Honda.

We went to a pancake breakfast at the firebarn in Cedarville and then went to get supplies in the Sue.

The we met grandpa and Ladonna for the parade.

Tyler got a lot of candy and beads. He also had his face painted.

Later we went to St Ignace for dinner and then went to the fireworks.



After the fireworks we had a bon-fire at Janies and Tyler got to play with a few sparklers.

Jubilee Sunday at Church June 22

Every Year we have a church celebration and invite the community and we call it Jubilee.





This year the sermon was held outside under a tent and the food was good as usual.






Tyler really enjoyed the bounce house.






and the games.






He even took time to ride the horse with Ruby.






But the biggest smile came after aunt Cori had Tyler dunk daddy.









She got her dunking later.





Praise God for the outreach we accomplished this day and the fun had by all.

After a nap we went back out fishing and Tyler caught his first fish.

Family Fishing Friday June 20

Last Friday we had the opportunity to go fishing with Mark and Jane while they were home visiting. Cori and Jessie went with us too. The lake was nice and we took home 20 pan fish to clean and freeze.

Jane and I pose for a pic on the boat.

Tyler and Jessie riding out to go fishing.

Here Jessie has caught her first fish of the evening and Mark is proud of her.

Ben wasn't very proud of this catch but.....

then he caught this Bass that he threw back since she was getting ready to spawn.

We had a lot of fun.
