Summer fun

We spent the week with Grandma and a quick visit from Gail and Anna while Kelly and Abbey were at Camp Geneva in Holland. We dropped off Grandma at Eva's and then Dave, Jenny and I went to Lake MI for the afternoon. I forgot suntan lotion so we all got a little sunburned but it was a fun day! The waves were huge so we held on to Jenny tight!



We played on the beach a lot since the water was about 69. Dave made this huge hole for Jenny.



We met up with our friends, the Riekse's and Jenny swam with Taryn for a few minutes. We had a quick dinner and then went to pick up the girls.
Abbey and Jenna were first. They had a fun time making tie-dyes and playing all camp games. They did lots of crafts and only swam once. They did get to go into Lake MI once. This was their first time going for the whole week!




Kelly and Sydney were next. This was their first time at the Pines camp and they got to do the zip line, the blob, and the saturn in the man made lake with a quick visit to Lake MI on the last day. They had fun making tie-dyes as well.


After everyone was picked up and we dragged Dave away from the blob (he was very jealous that he did not get to try it), we stopped in Byron Center to say goodbye to Grandma. The girls were sad to see her go but a little ice cream helped along with a possibility she'll come back for Christmas helped!

I was hoping you would explain what the blob is...Sorry I missed e-mailing the girls at camp. I was all set to it and it said no more e-mails - too late. Sorry girls, glad you had a good time!

The blob is a rectangle shaped inflatable that has one person sitting on the end and on the other end, a person jumps on it which sends the person on the other end flying in the air and into the water. Dave is just dying to try it.
