Day 215 - family fun & shinanigans

YEAH for being a family again!!!  we picked up luke and lilly this morning.  as i was walking through camp i saw a blast of yellow coming running towards me - luke sprang into my arms wrapping his arms and legs around me.  he laughed as i almost fell over.  when the last time luke jumped into my arms, i have no idea.  i couldn't help but wonder if it would be the last time my sweet boy would do such a child-like thing.  i held back the tears and celebrated with him as we laughed and hugged.

we added an extra friend to our next adventure.  after picking up the kids we kept heading north to harbor springs where we met up with the olthoffs.  the drive up was gorgeous.  dave kept saying, "we've got to get my parents up here - they would love it".  it really is beautiful country.  once we made it to harbor springs we stopped for lunch.

after getting a little rest on and cleaned up we headed to boyne highlands.  tonight was the diller's first experience with the young americans dinner theater.  our closest friends have been involved with the ya since right after high-school and we have spent hours and hours talking about their experiences, love and passion for the group.  we were THRILLED to be able to go tonight and watch the show first hand.

 

the show did not disappoint!  it was amazing.  the show is very entertaining and family friendly.  i can't believe the talent.  it was incredibly inspiring and so much fun. 

if you EVER have the opportunity to go or are looking for something fun to do make the trek up north to boyne highlands and see the show first hand!
