Late Summer Fun

There is a great park in Jenison, a small town close to Grand Rapids where we try to take the kids at least once a year. The entire playground is constructed from wood in the shape of a large ship (we think it is a pirate ship!). There are tons of places throughout the structure to explore, hide or climb. Even the grownups can't resist a little play time on the pirate ship! Here are some pics of the kids finding great adventures within the ship (hidden tire swing under the hull - yes sir!!) Enjoy!

Liam & Luke

Last week we had the pleasure of spending a few days in Fremont with my Grandparents (O'Brien's) and my aunt Claire along with her two boys, Liam and Luke - by the way we missed you uncle Bill (he was working). I wasn't sure how the boys would get along with my girls and vice versa, but I shouldn't have worried because the boys and girls played with each other like long lost friends! They played legos, fished, swam, built sand castles, dug deep holes in the sand, camped in the back yard, roasted marshmallows, picked blueberries.....you get the picture! They were non stop action for three days. Here are a few pictures showing the fun they had.
