Our Great Summer Vacation

USA Summer 2007
We're here--- safe and sound in the good 'ol USA....and having a BLAST! So far we've had only a handful of "dull" days since we've arrived and I've had barely a free moment to blog. We are packing in a lot of visits and fun events so the kids are just in HEAVEN! Krista has already said she doesn't want to go back to France in 2 weeks and neither do I for that matter!

The kids have been really enjoying my Mom's pool and Krista has learned a lot in a few short weeks. She does a mean backstroke now and Erik is enjoying jumping in the water over and over again (with no fear). A BIG highlight for Krista was her trip to the American Girl store in Chicago with Grandma. They had a WONDERFUL day together, enjoying the theatre, shopping and a delicious brunch with Krista's doll. This photo is of Krista on the "cover" of the American Girl Magazine (**available for a small fee of course!!!)
Grandma, Grandpa and Jan have REALLY showered them with gifts and fun-filled days. Shopping, cinema, theatre performances, picnics, park excursions, sleep-over's and visits with old friends. Not to mention the NUMEROUS lunches and dinners out on the town...and the list goes on! I guess that is what a great vacation is all about!
Next week we have a WHOLE week booked at my Dad's cottage on Lake Michigan. The kids are really excited for the beach and water. All in all we'll be ELEVEN at the beach house (I think it can sleep 15 so we're fine). Mike and Lia will be arriving from CA so we can't wait for that!!

Let the good times roll!!!
