Last Friday we packed up the kids and headed to Grand Haven after Craig got home from work. We arrived in Spring Lake just before 9:00 p.m., dropped the kids off with my mom and dad, and headed to Clover Bar for a late dinner. Since we rarely get a babysitter in Ann Arbor, this was a nice way to get a little time away. The kids enjoyed a fire and smores with GG and Papa! Saturday my mom and I took the kids to a park in Spring Lake to play for a bit. After getting home Allison decided to go on the swing next door. She asked permission from Papa and dad who were sitting outside with my aunt Jane and cousin Jenny. Suddenly we heard some loud screaming and crying. GG (my mom) ran to see what had happened and brought back a very bloody Allison. At first it was hard to tell what exactly had happened since there was so much blood. We were relieved that here teeth were fine, but she had some pretty bad cuts. Her forehead, nose (by far the worst), lip, and chin were all bleeding. A few popsicles and hugs later she was doing pretty well. We decided to take Allison downtown to get some lunch at Butch's Beach Burrito and get some sour straws. Later on we went for a boat ride in my parents boat to check out some of the amazing homes on Spring Lake. Saturday night Craig and I drove to East Grand Rapids to go to our good friend Amanda Chassee's surprise 30th birthday. We took some time to drive around East and check out houses and streets. We are hoping to make East Grand Rapids our home in a year. The kids stayed with my parents so we got two nights out in row! Sunday we met up with Tom and Mary Kay (Craig's parents) for lunch and then hung out with Craig's sister Katie and her three girls before heading back to Ann Arbor.
