A lunch date and playing at the park...

Today we got up, ready and went to take daddy lunch.  The girls put on "princess" dresses for their lunch and we picked up subway to take to daddy.  After having lunch....which turned out to be just a couple minutes of daddy time....we headed to Mt. Gilead park.  We played at the park for quite awhile and headed out for ice cream.  After ice cream we stopped by Mt. Gilead State Park to check it out and play on their playground.  On the way home we decided to stop and buy daddy another pear tree for Fathers Day. 

Memorial Weekend 2010

Memorial Weekend started with Ashley's softball game and then we went to Lake Erie.  We stayed at a little hotel on the beach which we love because we have a little slick of semi private beach and can have beach bonfires at night.  We had a great time, we arrived on Saturday and played at the beach and had a bonfire Saturday night.  Sunday we decided to make a big breakfast - fruit pancakes and omelets then headed out to explore.  We went to Huron to find the pier..  We first found a little older couple who had caught 5 large fish for supper.....we saw a snake and huge dead fish.  Then we headed back farther to the pier....we decided to walk the WHOLE pier with the kids all the way out to the lighthouse.  It ended up being a vary long hot walk but it was fun.  We found a "cotton" tree and Ashley and Hailey had fun picking the "fluff" off the trees.  On the way back a Blue Heron caught a fish and ate it on the walkway behind us.  We decided to grab some food and head to Marblehead lighthouse for a picnic.  The lighthouse and water were beautiful!  When we got back to our beach we had another bonfire, Hailey and Ashley made a little friend, and we had more smores.  Poey decided to roast a whole fork of marshmellows, once he caught them on fire he decided to see how far he could throw them....   across the beach.....  It was such a great weekend of beach, water, exploring, sparklers, smores and fun!
