Iowa and Super Grandma Birthday

By -

 It is always sad when I start a post with, "I failed". But I do so often at photos. Anyhow, we did have a wonderful road trip to Iowa for a family reunion hosted by the wonderful Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rick to also celebrate Super Grandma's birthday. 88 I think? whew. Awesome. Kathy lent us her RV so we had swank stays. There was also their fabulous pool party complete with pulled pork, cake, family, fun and I think more than 100 frog ornaments about the grounds (the kids were invited to count them all). The nights brought bonfires and dogs at the RV park were many of us gathered for after and before parties. So, all this to get to the share that this RV park was quite adorable and had fun stuff for pictures. Which were the only ones I took like a goof. The ladies convened for a stroll and the following documentation ensued...



As the boys were disc golfing, we were being disc golfing.

And then a little shopping.


Sure, "No climbing", but there was no sign saying "no cross country journeys across the prairie". Ha.

And doesn't the lawn look great? Thanks to our excellent watering.

Sorry rest of the trip, but this is all I got! But they are cute, right? Of course. Ok. Next time, next time.

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.
