More Summer Fun

Well, we may not own a boat, but that doesn't stop our water fun! We went the last couple of weekends out to Randy's brother's house. He lives on Lake Sherwood in Wixom, with a dock and small beach of his own. Randy took the raft, but it was the boys who decided to try it out first. After they both drifted out a ways and Randy had to retrieve them I finally came up with the idea of tethering it to the dock. That worked out better as they hadn't quite gotten the idea of how to row.

We also enjoy heading out to Greenfield Village several times during the summer. It was too hot to stay for the old-time baseball game last Saturday, but we did get Ramon Santiago's autograph. He plays for the Tigers, though not in an everyday role. The boys were excited and now ask if he is playing every time the Tigers are on. He looks shorter in person than he appears when you see him playing.
We had a quick visit from Randy's son Ryan two weeks ago. He just came by to let us know his girlfriend was expecting a baby in March. They both still live at home with their mothers, so they were not exactly planning on or preparing for this and it came as a bit of a surprise. There may be a silver lining to this, though, as we have already heard from or seen Ryan three times within two weeks. That is the number of times we usually see him in a year! Hopefully he will keep in touch more often.
Well, I am taking the boys over to their Grandma Samuel's house for a visit, so I better go get ready. Also, I have to make a stop at Target. The new Third Day CD just came out Tuesday and I NEED it!!!
Love, Deb
