Chesterton, IN and Traverse City, MI

It's been so fun being here at Chesterton with Mike, Kris and the four kiddos. One weekend Kris and the kids and I took a quick trip to Michigan (if you call 5 1/2 hours QUICK!) to see a bunch of Hanna relatives. What fun. On the way we ate at Big Boy. "We've never eaten here before" I was informed! It was a good experience!
Aunt Betty Jo provided the shovel and Mikey went to work! He just dug n dug n dug! See below for what Del did with that wonderful, delicious, vitamin-filled dirt that Mikey dug up!

Friday evening a bunch of relatives came over and Elia, Josie, Mikey and Del got acquainted with lots of cousins they hadn't met before. Here we see Aunt Betty Jo with Del and Jaqueline. It was SUPER to see everyone! Gram (my mother in law) just had surgery, so we visited her in the hospital. She isn't doing real well and is in a lot of pain. I felt badly, but am glad I visited.

That dirt is delicious. You ought to try it! You'll like it!

The sand outside Uncle Ed's house was WONDERFUL! The girls spent a number of hours getting filthy and of course having a blast! It's unbelievable what all you can do with sand and a few cans and utensiles! The BEST part of our visit was the gift from Uncle Ed - three very large jars of PICKLES! Wow! The kiddos are enjoying those MORE than you can imagine!
