Go Blue

We went to Ann Arbor on Saturday for the Michigan football game. We parked in our usual spot, had lunch at Pizza House, and walked around campus. Then we went to the band practice field to watch warm-ups. Phil's college friend and his family were in town along with two other college friends. We sat with them and watched the band and then went back to their RV to tailgate for a while. Then we walked over to see the drum line step show and got to the game in time to watch most of warm-ups. The game was... interesting. Michigan looked terrible but managed to get a (controversial) win after a hail Mary pass when 1 second was put back on the game clock. The boys went down on the field to celebrate which was a fun experience for them.

Alex’s Summer Fun

Here are some miscellaneous photos of Alex this summer.  Lot's of fun with friends!

 

Kalamazoo Balloon Festival

Will and I went to Gull Meadow Farms on Friday night for the Kalamazoo Balloon festival.  Unfortunately, the weather was a little too windy, so they cancelled the official balloon launch.  They did let pilots decide if they wanted to fly so we saw a few take off.  We got dinner from the food trucks and picked up cider and donuts.  We ran into friends and hung out until the balloon glow which is fun to see.  After watching the glow for a while, we rushed to the car to beat the traffic out.  

 

Visit with Uncle Andrew

We had a fun visit with Uncle Andrew: backyard games, porch games, dinner at Bell’s, disc golf, and a trip to PCHS to catch the end of marching band practice.  

 

Last Day of School

Will was finally able to take his last exam today which makes it his last day of junior year!  School starts in a week and a half…
