Pure Michigan

We hung out with Ken and Sarah until they had to go back to the airport on Tuesday.  John and Karen had us over for dinner on Sunday.  It was fun to sit and shoot the breeze with them and Laura.  Ken and Sarah tried their hand at fishing before we left.

We took a ride out to Dryden while Ken and Sarah were here to see the dome home that Ken built in the early 80s.  I knocked on the door and we had a chance to talk to a young man about 20 years old that has lived there since he was 4 months old.  The house and the pond and the property all looked great.  A little part of my heart was left in Dryden.

Michigan Fun Continues

Ken's family got together on Saturday, July 5, at Vito and Heather's home in West Bloomfield.  Almost everybody was there.  Good food.  Good times.  Lots of picture taking and a family birthday cake.  Ken and Sarah went back to Nana's house.

Finally Family

We pulled into Haas RV Park in Wixom on July 2.  This park was beautiful with four lakes.  We got a nice spot and spent the early afternoon getting ready for the arrival of Ken and Sarah.  We were able to spend the afternoon with my dad at his place, did some grocery shopping and headed to Detroit Metro Airport at midnight.  It was so good to see them walk out of the airport.  Sarah is expecting their first baby in November and she looked absolutely beautiful.  We sat up talking until 3 a.m.
On the 3rd we hung out with Rick and Sue, Eric and Bryonie and Oliver and my dad.  Kristine, Christopher and their kids arrived just in time to leave for the Detroit Tiger baseball game.   We had a family reunion on the Fourth of July and a good time was had by all.  I loved catching up with uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews brothers and sister-in-laws.  It was a fabulous day.

Michigan Here We Come

I will admit, I was a white knuckle passenger as we drove through Chicago.  We have been on the road for three months and have seen very little traffic.  The 80 to the 94 was packed with semi trucks going 90 miles an hour in all four lanes (or so it seemed).

 

I found a campground right on the St. Joseph River?  It was called Bear Cave.  We backed the RV Iinto a nice spot right along the water.  The view out our window was beautiful. 

There was a beautiful fishing dock, trails for hiking, a nice waterfall, club house and pool.  The lightening bugs there were quite fascinating and we built a nice bonfire to sit around before the big rains and wind hit.  We weathered quite a storm that night.

We headed to Niles the next morning and caught up with our friends Betty and Chris Krziza.       We had a nice visit and delicious Chinese food before we headed out to Jackson,
