Crafts and Jumping... Michigan Style


We did make a few crafts while we were up in Michigan... you could hardly think I'd go somewhere and not make SOMETHING.  Well, actually, I didn't make anything, but Carly and her sweet Grandma embroidered some towels for the kids to take to camp.  Very fun looking for designs and fonts online, and then watching the machine go!


Carly picked all her own designs and threads... while we were inside "sewing",  Grandpa took Ben outside for a little fun with the lawn mower... he had a BLAST driving this around the yard!  NOT cutting the grass, just driving it around.  Very fun.



Back to the crafts...  the finished products, designed mostly by Carly and realized by Grandma!  You had to know there would be Peace Signs.


Mom made these hand towels for our 1/2 bath downstairs...


... and Ben's Camp Towels.  

I'm happy to say, ALL TOWELS made their way back home to me after camp, so I am feeling pretty optimistic.


The Cousins on the trampoline!  Ben had just "Launched" Isaiah into the air... although, I'm pretty sure he can get himself that high on his own.


Kristi and Adriana


And the Jump Off...






Kristi's sister, Jamie, was visiting while we were there... with her cute little boy, Judah.  I had to take their picture, mostly for MY sister, Tracy, as we have very, very fond memories of Jamie, when she visited me with Kristi (and Tracy was over, too) when Carly was an infant.  She made us laugh so hard telling us about wearing Kristi's wedding dress... anyways, it was a great memory and it immediately endeared Jamie to us!  Sister's are AWESOME and I'm so glad I have so many of them!


Parker!  Love that red hair!


Ok, now I was TRYING to get pictures of these boys... but they don't look at the camera.  Anyways, Julean and Matthias.  Kind of sad I didn't get better pictures because they are so cute.


One more day of our Michigan Visit coming up...
