Summer Send Off Summary.....

Well another summer under our belts and it was a fast one. Despite the rough weather we surely made due of the nice days when they came. This is how we spent the better half of August.
 
Riding the waves at Grandma's beach
Soaking in the surf.
Meeting legends.
Side trips to Gary IN of all places, this one always with a side trip....this time Michael Jackson's childhood home. The white house to the right is not the garage of the other white house it IS the Jackson house where 8 children and two parents grew up.....
Trips to the zoo.
Ropes course with Brooke (she has been anticipating this for a few years now and was excited to finally do it!)
Mom was just as shaky as she was.....
Our hands were sore after from holding on so tight.
My brave little one.....
Checking out the new camp area at the zoo with Dad.
I just love this picture because it is all her: athletic wear, uncombed hair, smile on her face and sitting in the middle of my plant like there isn't one thing wrong with it.
Feeding calves

Losing two teeth in one day!
Catching a baseball at the Whitecaps game (well a very nice co-worker caught it and gave it to bugs!)
Giant chocolate pancakes for lunch before school shopping!
Meeting new older friends at their cousins lake and jumping right in, literally.
Crazy tubing faces.
On Three.....One....two....go...... (expect no less from these two)
One for all, all for one.
Geronimo!
Being carefree....
Jumping for joy
I wish I could put that she is saying
"Yeah school starts soon!"
 
 I like to call this one "Gumby Arms"
 
Snuggles with his Idol....
Operation diaper crew.
I love how Brady was soooo trying to keep up with them!
Cousin Jake getting some air!
Chris trying out wake boarding.
Brady doing some serious banking, as he opens his savings account!
They were great, made his sign the paperwork and everything, he was all business.
hahaha.
Tubing down the Muskegon River with buds.

Brooke teaching mom how to use cool picture apps on my phone.

Enjoyed a weekend at Torch Lake....
 The crew heading out to enjoy
 We upgraded fun island to relaxation station.
 
That was the remainder of our summer, in a nutshell. Bring on School, fixed schedules, sports and a whole new set up juggling acts!
