We spent a couple of days in Mt Pleasant recently with family. We watched some incredible dirt track racing at the Mt Pleasant Speedway with my cousins. I wish I knew how to post the videos I took, because it was so awesome! Then we enjoyed family reunion #1, where we got to see Uncle Frank and Dan's latest inventions (always fascinating!). Last time it was their pop-pop boats, this time Dan was in the process of building a camper from scratch:
And he seriously has every single square inch serving a purpose. It's amazing how he thinks!
We also enjoyed the traditional tractor ride, which Dan improved with "new" (re-purposed) seats, stairs, and a sign:
All-out country style! :)
One of the highlights for me during these last few weeks was spending a day with my college piano professor. She's such a blessing to me! We enjoyed relaxing at her home on a lake, and even ventured out on a paddle-boat ride:
Our cousins from Mt Pleasant came to visit us for a day as well. We enjoyed venturing through IKEA. Ah the joys of big city living! :)
After all of that, Matt spent a weekend golfing 70 holes with his brothers in preparation for their annual golf tournament, which they won for the third time in four years. Congrats guys!
While he was out golfing, I was sailing! As I've mentioned so many times before, I LOVE SAILING! This time, I took my friend, Laree. We had a blast! It was perfect weather, so relaxing, and filled with jokes and laughter.
This is Laree acting like she was going to fall out when we were heeling:
At reunion #3, we played on the beach, ate tons of food, paddle-boated around, and buried Benjamin in the sand:
It has fed my soul to be with family and friends, and around so much water! :)

That camper looks pretty cool!
Can I come sailing with you some day, it looks like so much fun. Maybe we can plan for it next summer, when Andy & I & baby drive up to Michigan:)
