2014 Summer Vacation #2

Mark had research to do at the Library of Congress - this gave us a great opporunity to go to G'ma and G'pa E's as well as Washington D.C. This was Matthew's first time there - he enjoyed the Metro, the Air and Space Museum and the pool at our hotel!! On the way back from D.C. we stopped by Gettysburg for a few hours. We had fun climbing the rocks at Devil's Den. Uncle Brad took him shooting one afternoon. We found out that Matthew is a pretty good shot!

Orange belt - second stripe

Way to go, Matthew!! You earned it!

Lake Michigan

We had a great little trip to Lake Michigan! The water was way too cold to get in - but we had fun in the sand and throwing a football!!

Lake day

We went to a lake with some of Matthew's buddies today. It started out a little chilly, but was a lot of fun!

The Heidelburg Project

Detroit artists - making art out of destruction.....

Hot Air Jubilee

Matthew, our friend, Carole, and I went to the area's hot air balloon festival in the evening for the evening glow. It was a lot of fun! Some really beautiful balloons that we got to see. Sunday morning you could see some balloons from our house!

Mackey and Moe

Mark took these great pictures of Mackey and Moe! I can't believe that they are eight years old!
