Fun in Grand Haven

Well, I'm finally getting around to blogging about our trip last weekend to Grand Haven. We had such a wonderful time.

For those of you who may not know, I'm part of the best online triplet group there is, and have met some incredible women in cyber space. So, some of us decided on a meeting place. June and her family came in from Wisconsin, Karen and her family came in from Chicago, Sheri lives in Grand Haven, and of course, Jason and I from Michigan. June's family camps, so we were able to stay right next to each other. My kids, especially Grace and Elaina LOVED her daughter, Eva. Everywhere we went, my kids had to know where their "friends" went! It was very cute. We spent some time at the beach together, we shared a campfire, we had a great time at Sheri's house for dinner, went to a very tasty winery, and almost got kicked out of the campground together!!!

Yes...that's right, I said kicked out...turns out, the camp we were in, alcohol was prohibited...oops!!! Obviously, those people have never camped with two sets of triplets, plus one! Anyways, we got busted not only for some adult beverages, but we were too noisy after quiet time.

There was a very great hot dog place downtown. Junes hubby was sitting at a table with all the kids...yes, all 7 kids...when someone walked by and asked if they were all his...I still think he should have said yes just to see their expression!!!

At Sheri's we worked on a traveling project for one or our friends daughters, who is in kidney failure and in need of a transplant. For more on that, check out Mira's blog! She is the cutest little peanut, and such a trooper!!! We also had a great bbq, and there were so many kids to keep each other busy, the adults actually had a nice time too!!! Imagine that!!! Sheri's house is like a child's dream...so many toys inside and out...the kids were all on overload. It was wonderful!!! Thanks again, Sheri, for hosting our family!

Hopefully, we can make it an annual trip to meet up with all of our friends that we usually only talk to over the Internet!

Your pictures are fabulous!!! My door is always open for a Grand Haven get together! Next time you can park your trailer in my back yard. That way you can drink and be loud - I promise, we won't yell at you! :) We definately need to make this an annual thing!

OH! I LIKE that idea!! Hey, we have a 3 room canvas tent that we used to use up a boy scout camp. We could throw all the kids in there and let them have fun while we party on! (and we don't have to worry about drinking and driving or who's going to be the designated driver, hee hee!!) Oooh! And the guys could cook on the grills - Jer's pretty good with a dutch oven! Ok ladies, look at your calendars next summer and let's see if we can set a date!! Whoo, hoo!

California Dreaming!

Merry Christmas!!!
