Michigan Trip, installment # 1

After our weekend camp out in the Smokey's we turned right around, packed up and headed to Michigan.  Our dear friends the Williams live there.  I've known them for twenty years now.  I actually consider Kym more of a sister than a friend.  And I can only say that about one other person, so that is saying something.

The Williams hosted us for almost a week and when we left there was a lot of tears.  At least from my kids.  We all had a wonderful time, but Lathen and Kieralee just got completely attached.  Matter of fact the second day we were there Kieralee informed me that she loved me the same as she loved Morgan (Morgan is Kym's oldest daughter, age 16).  The next day Kieralee informed me that she loved Morgan more than me.  So, yeah leaving was hard to do.  Not to mention the fact that Razzle now lives with the Williams and do they ever miss her!

Kym and I are both picture taking nuts so there are a lot of pictures from this trip.  I'll post a few here and then add additional posts with other pictures.  Not sure when those additional posts will make it on the blog, but be on the look out :)

One day we went to a lake to swim and play. 

Lathen and Riley.

Kym and Kieralee.  Kym use to be my gymnastics coach when I was six.

Ben and Lathen.  Ben was a gymnastics coach at the same gym, when I was six.

The beloved Razzle.

The idolized Morgan with Kieralee, her adorer. 

All the kiddos.  Morgan, Bailey, Riley, Lathen, Kieralee and Heath.

Thanks again Williams family we had a blast.  We miss you all and can't wait to visit again!
