South Haven

Mike had to work this weekend and we did not have Alex and Austin so Ana and I decided to "road trip" it and took off to visit my parents who were camping at South Haven this past weekend. We just went for a night and spent the afternoon at the beach playing in the waves and climbing dunes. My brother Bill was also there with my nephew Brenden. Bill took me out on a raft into the waves and thought it would be fun to wipe me out in the waves. It brought back the good ole days of childhood, but I was always the one getting him dumped over so I think he thought he had some catching up to do. He definitely took advantage while I was susceptible on a raft. Believe me he should be caught up now! All in fun, right Bill?!

Medflight Family Picnic


On Saturday, Midwest Medflight, where Mike works, had a family picnic where family were able to take a ride in the helicopter. It was a really great experience and a ton of fun! Thank you Medflight! I am really appreciative of the work Mike and his co-workers do to help save lives.

We could not have asked for a more perfect day as it provided a spectacular view and a smooth ride. I was a little worried about my whole motion sickness, but I was fine. We took a trip around Ann Arbor up to Domino's Farms and back around by Michigan stadium. And even being a Spartan fan, I will have to say that it was awesome to see the stadium from up above! Alex was able to snap a picture of it here.

After the picnic, we headed over to a summer/birthday party that our friend EJ invited us to. You would not believe all the kids and the craziness this party had! There was a huge homemade slip and slide, a enormous blow up bouncing thingy, a dunk tank, a trampoline, and into the evening there was an egg toss and a huge display of fireworks. Wow...is all I can say to that, but here are a few pictures and a video from the party.
