Michigan Vacation 2015

We just got back from another very relaxing and long overdue week of vacation. Like we’ve done for the last few years, together with Randy and Lorraine, we stayed at Kingfisher Cove just outside Saugatuck, a great little town on the west cast of Michigan.


We did a lot of relaxing yet seemed to pack several activities into the week: fishing, swimming, cycling, baking, kayaking, playing games, walking, shopping, eating and drinking. There was something in there for everybody, Connor even lost his first tooth on this fun packed week. Kayaking was our “new activity” for this trip and it was a big hit with everybody so we’ll likely do that again.

4th July Celebration

We just returned home from the airport, we have three exhausted girls now back home with us. We spent another great weekend in Chicago, this time with Mike, Lynda and Morgan. They were extremely gracious hosts all weekend and hosted a great 4th of July party yesterday. I got to see some old friends and a few new ones too. It was great to see everybody, thanks again to all who helped make a truly memorable day and weekend.

Weekend in Chicago

Connor and I had a great weekend in Chicago with Kay. We hit all our planned activities and even managed to meet Kay’s friend Anita for dinner. We took the subway as a special treat for Connor.


He really liked our day touring around the park area of Chicago, the bean, the many fountains, the new Maggie Daley Park and the strawberry snow cone I let him have were obvious hits. It was a great way to spend Father’s day, I enjoyed our day together buddy! A few select photos of the day are shown below.
