Baseball, Swamps & Dogs

We finished up our month in Lapeer, but before we left we made another trip or two down to the kids. One was to celebrate Nick’s 10th birthday, since he now likes ribs we did 3 racks of BBQ ribs for dinner that night and none were left on the platter. Off subject has everybody noticed how our DETROIT TIGERS are doing this year? The second trip we went to Toledo to take in a Toledo Mudhens game, they have a new stadium (3 yrs old) that’s right downtown and is dug out so that’s it’s below street level, we won there too.










The campground in Lapeer is a city park and is located just a few blocks from their downtown district, but you would think that we were back in Florida. There is a wet lands with a boardwalk right next to the park, after the first turn on the trail it’s like you’re in the middle of no where.









Now that we’re in Charlotte, Cathy’s going to get to do a ton of genealogy research at the state library and maybe we can get in a few do nothing days.

This is a picture of Arthur and his buddy Cooper, Cooper comes by about 3 or 4 times a week just to mess around with Arthur. Arthur will chase Cooper around for a few laps then the reverse and Cooper chases Arthur around for a few more laps, after twenty minutes of this Arthur will sleep for the rest of the day trying to recover.
