Ryan was a year too young to play football at Addison, so we signed him up for the Columbia league of flag football. Ryan was a little disappointed to find out he couldn't tackle, but it's good to see him learning some fundamentals. It's really messing with Jim's Michigan football schedule as the games seem to be falling at the same time:( But you never hear daddy complain;) Jim even missed a chance to go to a Michigan game b/c he didn't want to miss seeing Ryan play. Wowza. Ryan likes the fact that he is on the blue team and the colors are the same as Michigan.
It was one of the best Fall Sundays. Beautiful weather. 
Ryan was really excited to start school again. He really thrives with more structure and loves to have activities to keep him busy. I'm so proud of this little guy. I hope he has a great year in Mrs. Skinner's first grade class.
We're kinda scowling b/c my mom was taking the picture and I swear it was pointing to the ground. I mean, there was no way she got the shot. I guess I was wrong:)
Who's your Tiger? The boys stood by the fence pre-game in hopes of getting some autographs. No such luck. We got some really sweet Maglio bats and got an extra somehow to give back to our backpack angel.
Before the game, we visited Imagintion Station for a few hours. The boys really like this science adventure. We were only a few blocks from the stadium so I asked an attendant if we should move the car. She advised that it would be best to walk to the stadium. Jim and I checked the car before we made the trek to the stadium and everything seemed okay:) Boy were we shocked at 10 p.m. when the gates were closed to the parking structure. The note even said they would be open during event nights. Go figure. It was a little dark, a little shady in the area where we parked and we were nervous! I called the number posted at the structure and hoped that we could get an quick answer since I only had one bar left on the phone. Yikes. We were really pleased when an attendant showed up within five minutes of the call and gave us entrance to the structure. He didn't even charge us for our regular parking fee. Good gracious:)
We've been wanting to try out Duck Creek RV resort so we opted to pull our pop up trailer to Muskegon for some camping and Michigan Adventure fun. Boy was that a great campground. We even saved ourself some cash by walking across to MA and avoiding a parking fee. 
As usual, we had a great day at the park. The weather was perfect. I only have shots of Tyler b/c Jim and Ryan were MIA for most of the day on the big rides.
At the end of the week we found ourselves at our new Home Away From Home, the campground that Aunt Susie and Uncle Ray reside. It sure is alot of fun. The boys love the pool and especially the golf. I love the hospitality with Ray and Susie...so good to spend time with them. It's always an added bonus when their grandkids are there or when Papa and Grandma come visit us too.
It was a great week. We planned on coming home on Sunday and relaxing on Monday, Labor day...but we were having too much fun and decided to spend another night. Love the flexibility of our family. Everyone is always so eager to play.
