Whirlwind Weekend

Last weekend, Jess brought her special guy home so he could meet some of her friends and see where she grew up.  It was his first visit to Michigan.  Too bad the weather wasn't so great to show off our beautiful West Michigan area! 

As you can imagine, it was a "whirlwind weekend" with Jess and Andy.  They arrived late Friday night and left late Sunday afternoon.  They were on the "go" from the time they arrived until they departed.  Nonetheless, it was a great time.

Late Saturday afternoon, we drove up to Ludington for dinner.  Before dinner, we drove down by the beach and marina area and showed him the Badger in dock.  We also drove up in the Fourth Ward and showed him where Mom lived.  We then drove to the restaurant and met Uncle Bill and Aunt Dianne, Aunt Merna, and Mom and Dad.  We were glad that Dad felt good enough to go, too.  It was a nice time of fellowshipping together.  After, we went back to Mom and Dad's for some of Mom's homemade apple pie.  Needless to say, it was delicious!  Since the "coffee making committee" struggled, we didn't end up serving cofffee.  That'll be a memory in itself.  Ha!  Sorry, no picture of that!

Sunday, they got up and attended church, where they met more friends.  After church, we had roast beef dinner with apple crisp for dessert.  When dinner was over, Keith took them to school, so Andy see where she attended school.  They arrived back home and had a few minutes to do last minute packing and visit a bit, then Keith took them to the airport for their departure. 

We treasured every minute we had with them....as parents do!  Thanks to Jess and Andy for a great weekend!  Already looking forward to a return visit, soon!
