It's done!

We will be having our first BBQ on the restored deck today! They really did a great job and Charlie added a nice flair with the lights on the posts don't you think?

Texas Girl

Savannah flew to Texas in July for a two week visit to spend some time with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Bob. She wasn't scared at all - but of course I worried the whole time. Here are some pictures she came home with:

First night in Texas - she can't stop smiling!

There was a mamma bird's next outside the porch

Cruising the Fox River

Waiting for the cruise to depart

Downtown GB

Charlie and I had a perfect day. After watching the movie Maleficent in the theater, we finished our anniversary celebration on the Foxy Lady river dinner cruise Saturday. It was very romantic and charming. It felt like we were on our first date all over again! We talked, reminisced, and enjoyed the scenery. The breeze on the Veranda was very nice. It was a little cloudy that day but perfect temperature. The food was good too!

Admiral's Feast

The Foxy Lady has other cruises that we will probably take such as the dinner and a show where after you get off the boat you go to Meyer Theater for a musical show or the narrated tours and lunch tours. They also have shows with appearances by singers who highlight famous artists such as Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers etc. If our family lived here it would be a lot of fun to hire them as a private charter for a reunion or say a wedding. (hint hint Jake).

A Poochie lovin' the wind

We also found out that they usually go out to the bay of Michigan Lake but the waters were a little rough this time so we didn't get out too far. It was fun to wave to all the people in boats as they passed by.

Out on the Veranda

Happy 11th anniversary to us! Maybe next year we will take a cruise out on the ocean!!
