It's raining it's pouring!

Well, we finally received our much needed rain for the summer (all in one straight week of rain!). The crops appreciated it. We even heard a mighty thunder and lightning (queeny- as reece would say, as in lightning mcqueen from the movie, cars) storm this week. We didn't lose power, but we temporarily lost the kids' pool (found it the next day in the neighbors bushes). It was a neighborhood mow-the-lawn-fest following all the rain :) As a result of all the rain, we had loads of tomatoes (including ones from Grandpa/Grandma Meyers' garden - thanks!!!). I tried out my canning skills again. The big boys helped as you can see in the picture.

The weather even cooperated for us to enjoy Presley Scott Widener's 1st birthday party in Grand Haven. Good to see the Blauw girls again and their kids! We headed to Grand Haven State Park to enjoy another beautiful sunset and stroll on the beach. The beach days of summer are slowly fading away....................
