Sunday 9-2-07 Labor Day Weekend




It is hard to believe it is already September 2nd. This was my Mothers birthday. We have been a little busy since I last updated this blog. Thursday we stayed at the motorhome and some friends came by for lunch. The Parson and Mathneys went into downtown to have lunch and visit Windmill Island. Now having taken every visitor we ever had over the 25 years we lived here you know that we were just hoping to go too but really thought better of it. They enjoyed seeing DeZwaan (The Swan) Windmill which was the last working windmill that was allowed to be taken out of the Netherlands. They still grind wheat and make flour to sell. They were really impressed by the grounds with all the flowers. We told them they should be here at Tulip Time. Later they went to Dutch Village to the Candle Shop. Linda wanted to buy one of the carved candles. After they returned we left again to EAT. We tired one of the new restaurants called Boatwerks and we had another wonderful meal. We were able to sit outside by the water and enjoyed seeing several sail boats. The weather for these last three weeks has been incredible and I ordered it especially for them to enjoy. After dinner we went downtown for an evening of the street entertainment. There were musicians, acrobatics and etc. There were four girls called the "flying angels " and they did fire eating,plus lots of other tricks. We enjoyed it very much. Friday morning Janice and Ralph left to visit friends in St. Clair Michigan and on to Niagara Falls. Ally & Doug came by and left Noah and Kate with us for the weekend so we have been very busy since. Jim & Linda left Saturday morning heading to Virginia . We plan to just keep the children busy with swimming, playing and other fun things. This trip has been amazing.
