Weekend Update

This weekend, the company that Nathan is working for had a company picnic. It was held at Eagle Creek Park, which is a very big park that we have never been to. We started out at the picnic which had a bounce house for the kids and also played Volleyball and corn hole. Somehow I got suckered into playing in the corn hole tournament and did surprisingly well for my first time playing. Unfortunately my team lost both games. Nathan and his partner made it into the championship game, but lost as well.
After his work picnic was over, we decided to explore the rest of the park. We found the Nature Center and ran into some friends there. The Nature Center had lots of turtles, fish, snakes, bugs, etc. Charlotte was fascinated by all the animals, therefore, I couldn't get her to turn around for a picture. They also had a place to stop and draw a picture of some of the things you had seen. That may have been Brooke's favorite part.


The park also had a marina where you could take a ride on a rowboat, which our friends did. We decided against it because it was actually a chilly day! There was also a swimming beach, which again, too chilly. But the kids would've loved just playing in the sand!

For dinner we went to Steak-n-Shake because kids eat free all weekend! They sure do love their shakes!
In other news, Nathan's aunt in Utah died. We won't know the details of the arrangements until tomorrow afternoon, but he really wants to go. I wouldn't mind going too but I signed the girls up for swimming lessons this week and it's nonrefundable. Plus, if we have to get there quick, the girls will hold us up, having to stop every 2-3 hours. So he may just ride out with his sisters.

Also, one more month until we are back in Michigan! We're just excited to have our own place again and our own things.
