Labor Day Weekend 2008


This Labor Day passed by at the Jacobitz Cabin in Manistee, MI with John, Rennae, Karla, and Maximo. Our dear friends, Heidi and Scot, met us up there on Saturday morning and stayed until Sunday. Aimee and Eddie also visited with Keagan on Saturday. We played Apples to Apples until quite late on Saturday night. Good times, I tell ya.



We took a lot of walks on the beach...Sunday morning, Sunday night, Monday morning...searching for Lucky Glass. and Rennae found a lot of psuedo Petoskey stones. Don't let her fool ya into thinking that they are real ones. (haha, just kidding)

Here they come...


...there they go!

Sunday morning Travis, Adalynn and I took Scot, Heidi, and Mason out with the dogs.
While I carried a content Adalynn in the sling...


Mason, being a busy 18month old wanted to explore.





There really isn't too much more to say except, Isn't he just adorable?

This trip was our last summer expedition. Seeing the amount of trips that we had taken this summer, we felt very blessed to have traveled so safely.


Till we were driving down 31. And a Grand Am/Prix was passing us in the left lane. And it swerved left to miss a fold-up chair in the road. Proceeded to curve off the road to the left, overcorrect right to get back on the road, spin, and hit my beloved F250 in the grill. All while traveling at light speed. (k, maybe not. it felt like it though. maybe more like 55mph-ish?)

So...needless to say...if a Grand Am/Prix (whatever it is) meets an F250 head-to-head at above mentioned speed...the F250 wins.






Thank God, and my husband's quick thinking and excellent driving skills, no one was hurt. The dogs traveled in the back of the truck through the entire accident and Adalynn slept. We are very blessed! Now, if only my truck would return in pristine condition. I miss my baby!
