Never know from day to day what life will bring!

Early Sunday morning my husband Jeff unexpectantly went into surgery to have his appendix removed. He is now home recouping. It is mind boggling to me how fast it all happened, thank goodness for today's doctors, nurses and technology!

Some recent pictures

On Friday we went on what may be our last Ranger ride for the season in our area. Here we are in the Calumet area under an old mining building.

Jeff and Walter climbed this huge rock pile to see the view below.




Two weekends ago Walter had his last soccer game for the season. My parents, my grandma and my sister and her son Colton came for the day to see him play. Here are the kids in the yard with cousin Colton.
Lastly, a few more pictures of the kids at the pumpkin patch and corn maze this year. Walter was happy to be our navigator as we hiked the maze and Rose E said "there's lots of corns."


These two characters continue to keep us smiling. Walter is saving his money to "buy his own railroad someday" and one day at the dinner table asked "who do I need to pay to buy my own railroad and who pays me?" I thought wait a minute here you are only five! Yesterday, Walter fell on the playground equipment outside while at school and got a fat lip. Anyway, I picked him up from school and he said "Rose E, my lip fell off at school today!" Rose E has been quiet the little caretaker here taking care of her Daddy, her baby dolls and her toy dogs.

Our Trek to the Huron Mountains

Today we took the Ranger four wheeler into the wilderness from Lanse to Big Bay through the Huron Mountains. What beautiful scenery!
Here are a couple of views taken on top of Mount Arvon.




We also stopped at Slate River falls.

Along the way to Big Bay we saw several waterfalls and streams like this one too. We drove round trip around 100 miles and when we where done Walter said "that was the goodest ranger ride ever!"
