Tuesday: Happy birthday Amanda

It's my birthday today. :) I saw my dad in the morning and then Ben and I went up to Charlevouix to see Ben's family.

Ben got me a WiiFit. I'm pretty excited about it, although it just told me that my fit age is 36. :(

Here are Ben and I with my birthday ice cream.
And here is Ben teaching Jacob about the paino.

Monday: peach pie.

Oh let's see. Today Nathan and Liz left. :( I'm glad they were able to come up though.

Then we went to see Travis and Allison's almost-new house which looks very nice.

Then we had peach pie -birthday cake at home. It was really good.

Sunday

Today we went to church, napped, and watched the olympics. Dad and I also built a cover for Flurry's litter box so that we can get rid of the box that is quickly falling apart.

In the evening we playing bocce ball. The girls won the first game and the married-into-the-family people won the second.

Saturday: In Hudsonville

It was a nice day today. It started with some birthday donuts.
Nathan signed his book.
We took some naps.
And we went to the Improv at night.

Friday: the trip

11 hours and 8 rest stops later we arrive in Hudsonville. The traffic was fine though...by the time we got to any big cities it was well past rush hour.

I bet next time we can get it down to 10 hours :)
