Just because a town is named after a foriegn country/town, whatever it is, doesn't mean it is one. I really think they think they are(sorry Linda!) What is with the traffic laws there?- weird. We had a really good time, reminded us of Goshen Indiana a lot, size etc, without the amish obviously. Lake Michigan was really pretty, the kids had fun playing in the sand. Joe wasn't even too neurotic about the sand. We reminiced about all of our trips to the "dunes" in high school. We had fun with new friends from baseball too, getting to know them. Aaron's team went 1-1-1. A little frustrating at times, but hey they are 9-10 years old. I love watching them.
Annie, and Andrew had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's with cousin Caleb. Fun memories for them too. They caught and ate fish. Played in the water and played inside. They were exhausted, they fell asleep on the ride home at 730pm.
We stopped on our way home in Kokomo to eat at Hacienda, Joe's choice for dinner. Yummy! A real treat for us since we moved down to Indy. Nothing quite like it down here. Joe got fun presents for fathers day: flip flops, a desk chair, outback gift card, Hoosier's dvd, reese cups, ND slippers, and peanut m&m's. An odd collection of gifts, but lots of thought behind each one. Really, he just kept coming up with new ideas as the week went on, and the chair broke. The baseball players gave their Dads t-shirts that said "My Dad Rocks"with the boys numbers on them. (Our logo is the Rocks) Very cute shirt.
