The wall is a gray/blue color (clearer in the second photo)

Lighting candles is tons of fun.
We got in some kayaking at papa's.

Apple picking with my dad and sisters

Sunday afternoon Covid walk in the Macatawa natural area
We found lots of frogs,    
and reeds, 
And even got to hold onto a frog.
It happened to fall on the anniversary of Jer and my first date - 9/13/96
Leila has been watching too many contortionist videos.  
Henry has fallen in love with fishing!
Date night!  Watching the channel get dredged.

Loot from a garage sale, I am pretty sure that was all for less than $2.
Budding photographers

Stella did not want me to see what she had done to herself with baby powder, 
but she eventually relented.
Tickle fight!

Kathy from my work requested some artwork for a wall near her desk, and these kids were happy to help!

Camping with church friends in Ludington - very cold and wet, but very fun!



Hiking near the spot where my sister Lindsey and I tried to capture a porcupine when we were about their age, I do not know what we were thinking!

Too much rain, we needed something to do, so we went shopping!





Big breakfast and soup supper, all mixed up.




Fun with puddles...


Glow sticks as headsets?



Group hike!





Shortly after this photo, Henry caught up with the rest of our group and we lost him for about 30 minutes.  There was no cell service anywhere in the campground, so it was a nerve wracking time!  We met back up with him at the campsite. 
Henry loves to work the fire.

Henry's s'more!

Last day, checking out the beach.





Henry did a fishing class at the Outdoor Discovery Center

Halloween!  Misti's parties never disappoint!




Henry had a mystery gift giver - tons of candy that is milk/wheat/egg/nut free!!
