Me and Kate at MGM Casino have a $10 drink while Scott and Gary Gamble...
Downtown Detroit was quite busy Friday night, Walking into the casino made you instantly forget what time it was or what city you were in. It might have well be Las Vegas with out the strippers...

Me and my dear Friend Crystal in Novi, We hadn't seen each other in 10 years but it felt like we had just left CMU!! Hope to see more of her soon, possibly on the golf course as she and her husband Phil are golf nuts like Scott.

Last weekend, Andrea and Kevin came up to Walhalla with their gang and left the youngsters at home. I think it was a much needed break from parenting for most and we had a great time! Campfires, Pot lucks, fishing, storytelling ( Kevin mostly...) and catching some rays in the sun. We had a total of 12 staying at our cottage. Our Fr iends Tom and Louise Vandeburg had the rest of the gang at their cottage just down the street - I think a total of 9 plus 6 dogs....

July 4th 2009 Kayak trip
Davey, Pam ,Scott, JJ and Todd on the river
Scott was finally convinced to swim, Burr!!!!
I was lucky enough to spend 11 days in Walhalla over the holiday weekend and we had great weather. Kate and Gary came to stay with us and we had a great time. It could have been a little bit sunnier on July 2 and 3 but overall it was great to be away. July 3rd we watched fireworks at Emerson Lake Inn with the "locals" . ( Lots of out of control kids made this interesting but fun). July 4th we floated on the Pontoon boats with the Vandeburgs/ Swifts/ Jalvings and then watched Fireworks at Monica and Londi's . It was once again a great show!. I would have photos put I dropped my camera in the sand on July 3 ,so thus the lack of photos for most of the week. Bummer
Scott had to head back to Holland on July 6/7 /8 to work but then was back up for the annual Kayak event on the Pine River. You can see from the photos it was a beautiful day and they had a great time. I stayed back as I was quite ill with some bug or food poisening or something! I hope to have a new camera this Friday and will update the blog again with what Photos I do have hopefully! I have a great one of Cameo jumping off the dock!
