Happy 30th!

Happy Birthday!

Jon is 30 and a daddy now, so he obviously needed a helmet :)

The Beach: 2 Trips & 2 Lessons

Don't ask me why it has taken us so long to take our son to the beach because I don't know the answer, but to make up for it we have taken him twice in the last couple weeks. Both were very fun and learning experiences...live and learn ya know?

The first time was one of the first super hot days this summer. Holland State Park was full, so we went to Tunnel Park. We parked on the side of the road with countless other cars. We stayed for an hour, and then got a parking ticket. All those cars...hiding a no parking sign. So our first trip to the beach as a family was an expensive one.

The second trip to the beach was after Jon got home from work one night. We were waiting in our swimsuits, and I had packed a picnic dinner - I was quite impressed with myself. The night turned out to be quite windy, but we adapted. The lesson we learned was that picnics at the beach just don't work with our son at least at this point in life. He didn't eat a thing. The sand + the water = no desire + no time for food.

As a write this, Bright it sleeping and it is not a beach day, but maybe again soon?

60 Years

As you know, the Walcotts had a lot to celebrate this past weekend. We're still tired over here.
We celebrated Grandpa & Grandma Walcott's 60th anniversary with a lot of the family at Beechwood Inn. We had a great time together.

60 YEARS!!! Jon and I have only been married 6. Wow!
