Bringing in the New Year

The Kids at Christmas

We spent a wonderful couple day up at Bear Lake with Dave,Lauren and Melissa,Adam, Jackson and Lil Allory. We played card, the Wii and just enjoyed each other company.
New years day the guys and I went skiing at Crystal Mountain and the ladies stayed at home with Allory. Skiing was a lot of fun, its been like 15 years since I went last and didn't even break any bones. David on the other hand had a great yard sale. We had a lot of snow fall that day so we ending up heading home at evening. Thank Dave and Lauren for the invite we had a great time!!

leaving the island

What a wonderful weekend with the Anderson family. Paul's family has been doing this boat trip since he was 5yr old, about six years ago I made my first trip with them. This time we have two little guys with us Aidan and Jace my brother in-law kids. We put the boat in at Petosky and went though many rivers, lakes and locks until we hit Mackinac Island. We made it to Cheboygan where we stand the night. We had some rainy weather, but still had a great time on the boat. Saturday we went to the island and had a Beautiful day riding bikes in the sunshine, walking around looking at all the history. We stayed at the Grand Hotel and it was amazing, talk about history..After 6pm women had to be in dresses and men in suits. After dinner we went out on the longest porch in the world and relaxed. Everyone was tried from a long day, except for Paul and I so we headed out to the bar.. The Pink Pony... is where Paul and his co-workers hangs out after they gets done with work. So I had to go check it out. They had a cover singer there he was amazing. Lets just say we had a great night. Sunday Morning we got up early to eat breakfast and take one more look around the hotel and pack our things and headed home. Thanks again Mom and Dad Anderson for putting a fabulous weekend together for us.
