The Big 12

Leland rung in his 12th birthday with dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and cake at home.  Not a bad birthday at all, I would say!!

A Visit To The Capitol

With Leland having surgery 4 days before his birthday this year he was unable to have his birthday party as planned.  So our plan B was a trip to the capitol building.  Before touring the capitol we visited the Michigan History Museum. 

The Annual Visit With Katy

Nate's Aunt Geryl, Uncle Steve, and cousin Katy were here from Pennsylvania in early July.  The boys always love seeing her.  We were able to spend some time on the lake with them. 

Our Favorite Place To Be!!!

We were lucky enough to have a baseball tournament in Traverse City this year for Leland's team.  This is by far one of our favorite areas to visit.  This trip was supose to be a family trip, but Sutton ended up having a ball tournament close to home and didn't want to miss it.  Leland and I made the trek on our own.  We of course took the long way and made a stop in Leland and Suttons Bay.  One of Lee's team mates shared our hotel room with his mom, so on Saturday before playing ball we ventured to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.
