A Day Spent With Just The Two Of Us

June 3 is Christi and my anniversary and we will be celebrating 33 years.  We decided to spend the weekend in Grand Haven.  I, being a true Hollander had gotten a free nights stay at the Holiday Inn in Spring Lake right on the water for all the surveys I take on my computer and had a coupon for $25.00 off from a restaurant, the restaurant was great by the way if you ever get out that way.  It is called Arboreal Inn and is a very small but romantic restaurant with great food and a live quiet guitar player.

We first went to Ottawa Beach in Holland and took a walk on the pier and took some fun pictures as we were scoping out this area as we are going to have our family go out there in a couple of weeks and have our family pictures taken by a gal from church.

 

                         

Then it was off to Grand Haven where we just had a great time being together.  The weather was great, and the water temperature still cool enough to bring a nice cool breeze off the water while you were walking.  We then took some pictures out on the Grand Haven pier at Sunset. 

 

 

We even got an unexpected pleasure of the musical fountain as we were walking back on the boardwalk.

         

And I even got to see a BRIDGE as we were coming from our hotel.  Those who know me well would understand why I had to take this picture.  The rest of you will just have to wonder or ask.  Overall it was a great spent with the one I love and that God has chosen for me to be my life mate.

                                     

Let’s Clean House Grandma

It was cleaning day at Grandma’s house and so Gracie and Grandma made it a fun time while still getting much accomplished.

 

First Gramma we need to get these carpets vacuumed:)

 

 

Next Gramma we need to get these windows cleaned.  Watch I will show you how we need to do this.  “Don’t forget to get in these grooves Gramma.”

 

                                                   Uncle Jeff had to take our picture.

Next she helped Gramma

wash down the walls.          They were only going to clean the living room but Gracie did not want to quit so Gramma let her clean the slider going out onto the deck.  Gracie was a great little helper that day.

Up and coming future Baseball Star

We have enjoyed watching our Grandson Tyler grow up and learn baseball.  We have watched him in T-ball and now it is really fun watching him for the first year of machine pitch and where they keep track of 3 outs and runs.  He has really improved and is quite a hitter.  He has also learned the art of running bases and really likes it if he gets on base and then gets to run the bases if the next person up gets a hit.  Keep up the Great Work Tyler.

 

Come on pitching machine bring me your best stuff!

                                                  Tyler ready to field anything hit toward him.

 

Aw man! I almost had that one.     Tyler on base ready to run.

Christi’s Creative Craft Sale Day

A couple of weeks ago I took the day off from work and helped Christi out as she had a spot in a craft sale in the Outlet Mall in Holland.  We had a fun couple of days spent together.  The first evening which was a Friday it was quite slow, but on Saturday business picked up quite a bit and made it worth the work she put into it.  I even met a former fellow employee I had worked with for many years when I worked in Zeeland at Hy-lift.
