2010 Summer 1st Major summer visit!

OMG! Catherine (1st born niece) came to visit this past weekend (July 10 - 14). I am attaching pictures that speak far better than me what a wonderful weekend we had. Cathy brought "her man", Brimm with her. Equally delightful was Brimm's son, Solo! Solo and great nephew Jack and Joel were the best of buddies. I must admit I find it hard to swallow how easily replaced I was as weekend playmate - but certainly understandable!

Brimm was the organizer for the Sand Castle City! But you will see he is also a juggler!

Cathy, Brimm, my brother Terry and his wife, Sandi and Brimm went on the Pierce Stocking drive with sister, Trish, the best Sleeping Bear 'cruise director' there is. Trish took the shot of the Grand Rapids Bacons and Texas Walkers!

No worries, though, we also hung out in the backyard playing (Well, the under 40 group played) soccer while the rest of of us watched. Cathy is goalie in one of these shots. Final shots are of Cathy with "Grandpa Bacon" (my dad). So sweet! And, Solo viewing Lake Michigan.

All in all, great weekend - can't wait for niece Mary to come next weekend!
