Last weekend we had a wedding on Saturday night for Pat's friends Ben and Emily. Gracie got to do her first sleepover with Uncle and Aunt Ashley and they had a great time. We dropped her off at 4pm and between that time and bedtime, they played in the pool with Maizey, went to Chuck E Cheese, got ice cream, played at the park, watched a movie, and played with Gracie's toys! I am not sure how they fit it all in but it was all Gracie could talk about all week! Pat and I had a great time at the wedding, it was in Grand Haven and was an outside wedding. The weather was perfect and it was a very relaxed and fun wedding.
Pat and I got some time the next morning to sleep in and the after picking up Gracie, we went with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Pam to Frog Hollow Park to celebrate Grandma Pam's birthday. Frog Hollow is a huge hit with Gracie and her and Grandpa Tom and daddy spent a ton of time playing while we were there.
This weekend was also a lot of fun! Gracie did an overnight at Grandpa Tom and Grandma Pam's house on Friday night and Pat decided he would recreate our first date from 9 years ago! The date consisted of dinner at a restaurant in Grand Haven, Porto Bello, which is right by the water and we actually relaxed and talked the whole time instead of tag teaming a 3 year old! We then went to the beach and took a long walk down the pier and just talked and enjoyed people watching. Our date 9 years ago was a little chillier (it was at the beginning of September) and included hot chocolate but this time since it was warm we skipped that part!
A storm was actually rolling in and we just got to the car before the winds picked up- it was like a sandstorm within seconds with people running for their cars. Pat got a great shot of the storm coming in below.
Saturday morning we got up early and took a long walk with the puppies. Pre Grace we used to take them on hour walks daily so it was fun to take a nice long walk. Saturday afternoon we celebrated Father's Day with Pam and Tom when we picked up Grace and enjoyed a yummy dinner. We then headed to Pat's co-worker's birthday party and enjoyed a nice BBQ with his friends.
Sunday was just a day for relaxing, we spent a little time on housework and did some mowing. We took Pat out for dinner for Father's Day and then enjoyed some Cone World for dessert. We ended the night with a water fight in the backyard which Grace loved.
Overall, two amazing weekends! This summer is definitely shaping up to be on to remember!
