Visit from Uncle Andrew

We had our annual visit from Uncle Andrew last week. The boys and I drove to Grand Rapids on Tuesday to visit with Grandma and Grandpa and to pick up Andrew at the airport. Then we drove back to Kalamazoo in time to get the grill warmed up while we waited for Phil to get home from work. On Wednesday, Phil had to go into work in the morning so Uncle Andrew got to spend some quality time with the boys - jumping on the trampoline, listening to Jeff Kagen, and just being silly. Then we met Phil for lunch at the Bell's Brewery. We were able to sit outside and the boys were able to run around in the outdoor garden and patio. Then Alex and I went home for his nap and the big boys went mini golfing. We grilled again for dinner and played Frisbee outside. On Thursday, we went for a walk around the neighborhood and then Phil and Andrew went to downtown Kalamazoo to walk around a bit. We did more playing outside before calling it a night. On Friday, we said "Goodbye until next year" and they went to East Lansing to walk around and play disc golf. On Sunday, they made their annual pilgrimage to the Ren Fest. Andrew's visit is a great start to the Labor Day weekend every year. The boys are already looking forward to next time.
