6th Anniversary Trip

We went to the Grand Superior Lodge again for our 6th Anniversary.

Flowers from Todd (& Tyler).

View from our balcony.

The Lodge got two tandem bikes on Wednesday.  Todd & I were the first ones to try one out.

We rode about a mile & a half up to Gooseberry Falls State Park.

Gooseberry Falls......lower falls.

As we were leaving the park, we saw this deer crossing the road.

Todd & I visited his Grandma Vi on our way back home on Thursday.  We brought her some flowers for Mother's Day.

Maddie Turns 4!

Our niece, Maddie, turned 4 on April 27th.  She & Tyler spent the weekend last week so we celebrated her birthay with them.

We went to Perkins for dinner on Saturday night...........they have balloons & face-painting for the kids............and kids eat free.  :)  Here is Maddie with her balloon & her present.

We had jello parfaits instead of a cake, which worked out perfect since there was one for each of the four candles.  :)
