Here in Grand Haven there is a week long Coast Guard Festival. It is very busy and lots of fun activities. Needless to say we were pooped by the end, but had lots of yummy food and fun.
Mari had a camp at the YMCA that week to add to all the fun. This one was Dora camp! She was excited despite the picture.
Right next to the Y was a huge set up with all kinds of free things for kids after camp as part of Coast Guard. Needless to say that is all Mari wanted to do after camp. They had about 5 different jumpy things with slides, games, face paint, fire trucks spraying water, and an arts and crafts tent. We had a lot of fun to the point of tired grumpiness.
Oh and ice cream:)
Owen playing in the water while Mari got her face painted. He loved stomping around and splashing.
The Coast Guard brought in 4 big ships and a couple boats as well that you could tour. It was really neat to see them all and how they work. The kids loved it because they could push any and all buttons.
And Greg loved all the big guns that they let you pretend to use.
We had a great week and ended it with a huge parade and amazing fireworks on Saturday. The kids were tired but it was all worth it. Mari loved the fireworks. I wish everyone could have seen them they are amazing. Better than any 4th of July ones. I always say they are like 45 minutes worth of grand finale style.
Again we are having a great time here and trying to fit everything in before we head back to the snow and cold.

Daniel loves to stomp in the water as well! I cannot wait for you all to meet him and for him and Owen to play together. I miss you guys and always wonder how you are when I drive past your house.
