Memorial weekend was so much fun. We went to our friends Aaron and Catherine's house, they were having a problem with their roof and so Alec and Aaron worked very hard to do this project. It was hot and humid, but they powered through and fixed the problem. I am not really sure about all the details of the roof problem, but I believe they had to change the pitch of a portion of the roof, replace boards and then re-shingle over the work they did. It turned out great, and it was even tested since it POURED on Monday in Grand Rapids.
Catherine and I spent a lot of time making cards and taking care of the guys every need! Alec worked out of MI for most of the week before memorial day weekend, and so I took the Lake Express ferry across Friday afternoon. It was an excellent ride, I was a little nervous because another time I took it I got really motion sick. But it was a smooth ride and I sat outside on the deck the entire time (and didn't think about sunscreen, FRIED my legs.....yeah that was a huge oops). But it was really relaxing, I just sat in the sun, listened to my iPod, and looked at magazines.
On Sunday we all went to my Grandma and Grandpa DeKruyter's house to have lunch and my family came over from Dearborn. It was great to see everyone again. We then headed to the beach to enjoy the gorgeous day! It was so much fun kayaking, swimming in the freezing water, and enjoying the sun. Then on Monday we did the Parade of Homes with Aaron and Catherine. So much fun, and sooo many sweet houses. Half way through doing the parade though it started absolutely pouring, we couldn't even drive through it and had to pull over. We found a house for sale and Catherine wanted to go get the flyer for it, LOTS of water (see pic below). We even saw some portions of the road get washed away.
