Freezing Frogs

I will keep this short since I have a zillion pictures below-

We all headed to Traverse City for grandma's memorial. It was a trip filled with lots of hugs, laughs, tears , wine, family time and memories.

We made it to all our favorite spots- Grandma's house on the lake, the Bowery, downtown, Poppycocks, Don's Drive In, Meyers, Burritts, Bob's House and Old Mission Tavern.

During the long weekend, we came together as a family to honor grandma for who she was and all she accomplished. We tried to heal old wounds, share memories and made commitments for the future.
I love my whole family-craziness and all- and can't wait to see everyone again in September!
