Evan & Jen's Wedding

It was so much fun to spend Friday evening at a wedding! It was a beautiful reception and fun was had by all!

Karen Neumeyer Golf Outing

It couldn't have been more perfect day for the Karen Neumeyer golf outing! We had a wonderful time supporting a great cause! Darin golfed with our friend Mike, and another volunteer's husband Erick. They took 2nd place:-)

I worked the Vegas Hole with friend Erin.

The Bolthouse Boys

Monday night was a fun evening at the ballpark (despite a poor performance on behalf of the Tigers:-(. Darin's brother, Todd, was home from California. It was his first time in Comerica Park. We had to document the occasion with a family picture at the park.

.....And Ladies of the Club

After a summer hiatus, our book club reconvened to sip mojitos and catch up on the summer. We even snuck in a little discussion on our latest book "....And Ladies of the Club". Our opinions of the book varied widely, and we decided that's exactly why we're a book club:-) Next up...."Nineteen Minutes"! And thanks to our fabulous hostess Kim--the Mediterranean cuisine was delicious.

Darin's Lunch with the Ladies....

We spent Saturday on Grosse Ile visiting family and friends. Darin took all of his favorite ladies out to lunch: Wife, Mom & Grandma. We bumped into Grace at the restaurant. Darin was definitely outnumbered (4 to 1).

August Baseball

The race is on to make the playoffs, which made Friday night's game against the White Sox especially exciting. Sad to say the Tiger's couldn't pull off the win, but we had a great time anyway. Here's a picture of the GM Fountain (featuring the new Chevy Malibu). There were lots of runs scored, so the fountain definitely got a workout!

Vacation Highlights

We're readjusting to the "real world" after a two week roadtrip. We had a great time exploring all that South Dakota has to offer. Here's our picture in front of Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park. (This was where National Treasure 2 was filmed:-)

There's no better place to watch fireworks than at Mount Rushmore. We had to park 2 miles away (we were lucky--people were parked as far as 6 miles from the site!). The walk was definitely worth it. What a grand way to celebrate our country's birthday!!

Another highlight of our trip was a hike to Hearney Peak and Little Devil's Tower in Custer Park. Darin was daring enough to stand at the edge of the cliff for this picture. (I was dizzy just taking the picture!?)

Our trip ended with some quality family time in Iowa and an odometer reading of 4000+ miles (we started with 2!!).
