Dinner Cruise

This past Tuesday night, Brian and I invited my parents and both sets of grandparents to join us for a dinner cruise on the Holland Princess. This was our way of saying "thank you" for all the babysitting and help they provide us during the school year with Samuel and Carter. It means so much to us to have family members who are willing to help us out and love on our kids.

After cancelling the trip twice due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, we finally got everyone together. The weather forecast the day before wasn't great, so I was a bit worried, but it ended up being a perfect evening! We enjoyed a tasty dinner of Chicken Marsala, fresh fruit, baked potatoes, butter rolls and strawberry shortcake from Russ'. Then we headed up to the top deck and enjoyed a cruise around Lake Macatawa, through the channel and out to Lake Michigan. Enjoy the pics!




Our cousin Andrew just happened to be on the channel photographing someone for his business as we passed by!



This is the best family pic we could get...considering Dad was the photographer!





The entertainment was sort of lame, but Brian stepped up and did some karaoke to liven things up!

What a fun outing! It is such a blessing to have family near and willing to help out and what a great way to show how much you appreciate them. :)
