Today we went to the Silver Leaf Renaissance Faire. It was a first time experience for the boys and I. What a great time!
The entertainment was constant and really good! We especially enjoyed The Rogues. They were so entertaining that I bought a CD.
Elijah finally decided to rock his new shorter hair do out in public. I love it. But, I digress.
I think Jack's favorite part, besides dancing to all the live music, was cookies with the Queen. They got to sit at her Majesty's table and enjoy conversation and a sweet treat. She was so attentive and kept their attention the whole time.
So much so that Jack had to switch sides to be nearer Her Majesty.
And of course, we saw lots of armor, swords, horses and chivalry. Nico plans to move there when he grows up.
Huzzah!!

The boys found out about a free skatepark in Kalamazoo and after some research I found it. Upjohn Park has a section fenced in and very nicely done. The kids aren't that great at skating, but they love to do it. It was a bit crowded, but not overly so. My pictures only show half the park. The kids had a good time and I see us going back soon.

Today, I spent the afternoon with this guy. My amazing 15 year old son, Nico.
We did some shopping for their upcoming trip to Miami. He sat patiently while I had a relaxing manicure and pedicure. I let him pick the color and WOW, I got purple.
I finished our outing with a treat for him. Go carts!! He wanted me to go with him, but I politely declined.
It had been a very long time since I spent one on one time of any length with my firstborn. He is turning into a a clever, considerate, loving, smart guy. I need to do this with each of the boys more often.

This evening we drove over to the small community of Parchment for a local theater production. Can you guess what it is?
Not yet? Here is a hint.
Did that help? Yes, it was Suessical!!
The great thing about sitting outside on a wonderfully cool evening to enjoy some great community theater? You can dance along if the groove hits ya.

My heart has a non dangerous quirky anomaly! I don't need to worry or fret anymore. The cardiologist said to come see him once a year and "move on with your life like this never happened".
I am over the moon with relief!!

One year ago today, my biological dad passed away after complications from a lung infection. He and I were developing a really good relationship and I miss him.
His wife, Mary, still visits his grave daily. She struggles so hard with his loss.
Never forget to tell those you love daily how much you care.

The only downside to watching the evening launch is the bright sun in our eyes.
Sometimes we chase after them and get lucky enough to see a landing!!
They launch for the next three days at 6:30 am and 6:30 pm. We will probably go to see one each day. We love Air fest time!!!
