BACK TO THE GRIND!!!!!

We ended our vacation with a trip to Michigan to see all of our children (sounds like a soap opera). We went to the zoo with L & L's family. Then we spent Saturday with Emily (Dan was off to Florida). We played miniature golf and drove go carts (even the old people rode the go carts). Here is the gang getting ready to play miniature golf (I was the camera man - don't want to waste money on a game I don't care to play).

Isn't this flower gorgeous? If anyone knows the name of it, please tell me. I would love a yard full of them.

Tim says we can't have this water fall, but I think it would be a great asset to our boring yard.

Zachary was so excited to ride the go carts (his second time). He wanted #20, but it wasn't the first car. Oh well, he enjoyed the ride anyway.

Emily and Elyse rode a double car (Elyse didn't want to go alone). I am in the car to the right of them, but couldn't take a picture of myself.

It was fun seeing all the "adult" children. We had to wait until we got home to see Betsey. She is a crazy working woman.

Now all that awaits me is bills, laundry, house cleaning, getting ready for school and bills. Did I mention bills? Yep, lots of those. We had a wonderful time this summer. Next summer we will try something different for our vacation - hopefully, some of you can join us.
