Fabulous Feet

just for my sister liz....feet

Southern Michigan

When adult children with families try to plan a get together it can be frustrating. Everyone has busy schedules. So when we called both SILs and it worked out that we could all get together on the same weekend followed by meeting up with one of my sister and her family, we were amazed!
We spent a few days near Grand Rapids, Michigan with James' younger sister, Amanda. We trailered our motorcycle up just to go on a ride with them. We spent the time riding, eating yummy healthy food, and listening to James complain about the cat. Darn those cat allergies.





Friday we headed to Big Rapids (neither of these towns have grand or big rapids), for a dance recital. James' nieces performed ballet, tap, and modern dances. Each dance was set to a famous artist. My favorites included a lovely ballet based on The Rehersal by Degas, and 3 modern dances based on Poe, JK Rowlings, and Steinbeck. I maybe biased but the girls were 2 of the most graceful dancers on the stage that night.
All the cousins played happily for hours. Pool, video games, matchbox cars, pool, Legos, and back to video games. The adults sat in the yard soaking up the gorgeous day!
James was able to take all the kids and his non riding sister on motorcycle rides. Afterward, he gave his professional opinion that the oldest niece, L, has the motorcycle bug. Maybe someday James, Amanda, and L Will go out riding:)

Let's jump states...

By now everyone knows I am WAY behind on blogging. According to the blog we are still in the southwest but actually we have been home and gone again.
I will blog the western half of our trip. But in the meantime I will stay current with our summer.
