Beach Fun and Canning the Harvest.

 We always enjoy fun times at the beach together, and the glorious blessing of having so much water around us especially on really hot days.

 Sand burial time! Julia, Alex, and Tony look like the victims of a sand storm.

 Nick, Maria and Bella pose during the fun of making sand structures, swimming, and water fights.

 With summer at a close, there is also lots of canning to be done. We were blessed with an enormous amount of tomato's. We turned all these into some yummy salsa to enjoy during the long winter.

 While some of us were making salsa, Maria was canning dill pickles and Julia assisted her in the peeling of garlic.

Thanks to the bountiful abundance God gave us. We will have lots canned goods for winter.

The Polish Festival

 On the drive down to GR we stopped and had a small lunch. Our Papa and Busie followed us down to give us some support for our very first public performance.

 After doing a 3 set playing job we were all hungry and so we had a late dinner at Jimmy Johns with Angie and Rosie Wooden.

All of us walking back to pack up after dinner. We were blessed with a successful playing job thanks be to God! 

Box On Practice.

 We booked a playing job at a Polish Fest in GR, and so had lots of practicing to do.

Our band name is Box On, and I made covers for all the music books.

As the say that practice makes perfect, we certainly practiced a lot,  and were ready by the time the fest came around.

Random Pictures.

 With not much happening here, I decided that a post about some of the little things we've done. Tony and Bella helped hang up the laundry for me one afternoon. They did a very nice job, Thanks for the help you two!

 Julia was playing dress-up outside. Doesn't she look lovely??

 She did a fantastic job, and it was a very nice treat.

Tony helped make Puppy Chow with me. It is always such a delicious treat and it goes really quickly.

And lastly Nick being cute! Have a nice week!

Michigan Adventure

We all trooped down to Michigan Adventure on their last day here with us. We're all together before  entering the park.

Bella loved Snoopy.

So did Alania.

It was Tony and Bella's very first time at an amusement park. They both loved all the rides!
