Mother Daughter Horsemanship Camp

Remember this past summer when Maggie went to horsemanship camp? Well, she's got the bug and last weekend, she took Janice back to camp for a mother daughter weekend. And we're not sure who had more fun.

See that fire???? Janice got it going (she's quite the bonfire maven). They spent the weekend horseback riding, rope climbing, horseback riding, canoeing, doing crafts (it's an all girl weekend, you have to have crafts, right?), horseback riding, and pretty much having fun hanging out together without the other kids around. And now, Maggie has signed up for horseback riding lessons. She'll be going once a week throughout the fall.

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend...

Birthday Time

Molly and Jack each celebrated their birthdays last week. Molly's (who's now 7) on the 13th and Jack's (the big 4 year old) on the 17th. To celebrate, Molly took a friend to Build a Bear (where she actually got a dog), after which we all went to Boston's for dinner. For Jack, his two buddies Ethan and Tony joined him for a round of miniature golf and some ice cream.

Vacation

Ok, so you probably have been wondering where the heck we've been. Well, we've been on vacation. This year, we were blessed to have 3 weeks in Glen Arbor, Michigan (our home away from home). We beached, hiked, napped, ate out, slept in, over and over and over again. I won't get into all the details, we'll just let the pictures speak for themselves...
