One beautiful September day we took a drive to Port Washington for a little outing. Port Washington has become one of our favorite spots--it's a picturesque little town right on Lake Michigan. There's a cute little deli where we like to eat lunch and we can sit outside and watch the boats. We usually take a walk along the harbor, too.
A couple days after that outing, we were surprised to get a call from Tony Bons, a friend from our Escondido days. He and Dicky were on an extended trip in their motor home, and they were traveling through our area. So they stopped at our house, took us out for dinner, and then spent the night in their motor home on our driveway. A nice change from a Walmart parking lot, they said. :) It was so nice to re-connect with them. We caught up on each other's families, and just had a nice time visiting. One of Bob's favorite memories in his kayaking adventure with Tony in the San Diego Harbor.
A few days later we took a drive down to Clinton, just for the day. We wanted to bring one of Hope's birthday gifts down a little early, so that she could enjoy it outdoors while the weather was still nice. Before giving her the gift, we had to go pick up Jeremiah from school. Jeremiah didn't know that we were coming, so it was fun to surprise him when he came out. Hope likes a chance to play on the playground while waiting for Jeremiah. .
Whee! She loves the slide!
When we got back home, we brought out her present--the Cozy Coupe, or as she calls it, "my tar." It was fun to see her reaction when she saw it--her face just lit up, and she quickly opened the door and climbed in.
Hope discovered that with her new car, watching TV is almost like being at a drive-in movie.
and Yammie (Lambie) is in the back seat.
Only thing missing is the pop corn. :)
And we can't forget Hope's big brother!! Jeremiah was excited to show us his new scooter, and to demonstrate his scooter skills. Pretty cool!
