Memorial Day Weekend

We went camping this past weekend with Kyle's family and some friends at Leisure Lake Campground. It was about an hour and a half away. It was a very nice campground. On Saturday Alma was having their Highland Festival. That included a 5K/8K, parade, craft show and a scottish band festival. We attended the parade and went to the craft show!!

On Sunday it was warm out, but the lake wasn't that warm to swim in. So, the girls, Kyle and I had a waterbottle fight, well that turned into getting out the sprinkler and running through that. Cameron & Carter came over and played in the water as well. This kept them entertained for a while.

quality reading time with Papa

We had an afternoon storm that came through, so afterwards the kids got their rain boots on and played in the mud puddles......

Sunday Kyle had been watching the weather and there was a huge storm coming across Lake Michigan and he thought it was headed towards us, so we decided to pack up our camper and stay with Jane & Ken. Well, we did get some rain & thunder, but we got hit harder at home. Back home we got hit with straight line winds. They knocked the power out all over town and dropped my mom's 80 foot maple tree into her pool, across the hot tub and deck, but just missed the back corner of her house. So, we came home to no power. We always spend Memorial Day with the Wombles at my mom's house, but that change just a bit...off to the Womble's we go. We have a great time with them! My mom's power came back on about 6pm that night, so we moved in with her!!!

We only had to stay with her one night. Our power came back on on Tuesday afternoon!!!
