Half birthday surprise

Henry received a fabulous early 5th birthday present (actually, more like a half birthday present) from Grandma and Grandpa - his first bike! He had been talking about wanting a bicycle with training wheels and was very excited about the idea of a new bicycle. But thus far, in true Henry form, he has been more interested in ringing the bell than actually attempting to ride the bike. We'll keep working on it. 

Summer cool kid. 

Adventures in Holland, Michigan

Our whirlwind trip to Michigan included science experiments, reptiles and amphibians at the farmers market; adventures at Dutch Village; meeting Foggy the Plymouth Barred Rock chicken who lives in magical fairy garden; playing, picnicing and seeing rescued birds of prey at the Outdoor Discovery Center; attending Hillary and Ashley's bridal shower at Pereddies; dining with the entire Knoll family at The Piper; a Father's Day walk at the Saugatuck State Park to Lake Michigan; and a stop on our way home at Uncle Dave's farm to see Christa, cousins Tenli and Viggo (with Sunny the pony!)
