Mom Adams and Grandmom Bromley came up and visited both Katie (my sister) and I this past week. It Grandma’s first time to see our houses, where we worked, and enjoy the beautiful places along the lakeshore.
We enjoyed shishkabobs on the grill on Monday night at our place, followed by a fun-but-short game of Balderdash. Tuesday and Wednesday we enjoyed wonderful food at Doug and Katie’s place, followed by a slow, relaxing evening of socializing over a 600-piece puzzle. Mom and Grandmom were able to visit “Muskegon State Park”:http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/ParksandTrailsInfo.aspx?id=475 and the “Meijer Gardens”:http://www.meijergardens.org/ during the day; they also enjoyed an unplanned car tour of “Grand Rapids”:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=grand+rapids,+mi&ie=UTF8&ll=42.971874,-85.677567&spn=0.117061,0.346069&om=1, thanks to a missed turn and some nasty construction.
All in all, the time spent with family was too short when the time for goodbyes arrived. I’m glad they had the chance (with both husbands off on various trips) to travel up here when they did.

You have to love construction, especially in GR.
