Oshkosh to Higgins Cottage-July 29 - August 15, 2011

July 25 – August 15, 2011 -   We enjoyed our time at Oshkosh.  The airplanes were awesome and the airshow was terrific.  It was pretty warm and humid and it rained a few times but nothing like last year.  We met up with our friend Scott from Maine and he had dinner with us.  Dave and Scott knew the guys across from us from last year and they had a fun evening.  We left Oshkosh on Friday July 29th.  We made it to Mackinaw City and saw the Bridge, picked up some fudge, carmel corn and stayed at the Tee Pee Campground.  The next day we headed for the cottage at Higgins Lake to see Jeff and Tricia.   We had a nice visit and took off for Lake City for a few days.  Gary and Deb stopped by on Tuesday to visit and the next morning Jan came by to say hello.  We’ll soon see Jim and Jan in Florida around the first part of December.   We also had a nice visit and we’re now on our way to Allen and Karen’s.
We stopped in Mt Pleasant for a few supplies for the Reunion.  We arrived at Greg and Jon’s place and set up camp.   My sister Judy stopped by.  It’s always great to see her and catch up.  The Reunion was a success!  We had 41 people on Friday night and 40 people on Saturday.  Chrissy, Jon, Kelly, Heather, Holly, Meghan and Mollie arrived Friday.  Hannah had a tournament and couldn’t come. 
After everyone left on Sunday and the cleanup was finished, we moved to Allen and Karen’s.  We stayed until Tuesday the 9th of August and took our Airstream to Ohio to have the outside recoated.  We’re now heading to the cottage for a couple of weeks.
We decided to do some upgrades while we are here.  Jeff and Tricia did a lot of cleaning out while they were here.  Dave and I painted the doors inside and the front bedroom.  It looks great!  Lori next door and a couple of her friends from Texas had us come over for Happy Hour.  Gary and Deb came over and we went to the Silver Dollar for dinner.   It was great fun, a lot of laughs and a late night.  On Sunday we caught up with our laundry and had lunch with Gary and Deb. It’s only Monday so we’ll see what we can get into tomorrow. J
