The City of Hart, Michigan – Part 2, and Family

With over 10,000 acres of asparagus in the area, it only makes sense for Hart to have an Asparagus Festival, with a parade, craft sales, rodeo, etc. One of the highlights this year was the appearance of the Scottville Clown Band.

A couple of pictures including Austin & Tori dancing the Chicken Dance with the band.








In this picture, her sisters are admiring Melissa’s “Little Bean”.









Since Joe can’t just relax, we had to cut down a tree, which meant having a campfire. And that

leads to S’mores, here is Madi enjoying hers – yes that is her hair stuck to her face.










And the end included the kids singing “So Long, Farewell” from Sound of Music as they headed in to bed. A GREAT time was had by all!

Having a campfire and S'mores sounds good to me, although it is a little warm around here for the campfire. We could probably do the s'mores without it.

mmm...smores!! all we need to do here is put the marshmellows out in the sun, they'll start burning all on their own (avg highs hitting 105+ right now). Looking forward to (hopefully!) cooler temps in MI!

Just to clarify, my husband is just like our father, has little projects planned for vacation time. It was the only project he did. We are looking forward to everyone being here. Joe and I both are not working during that time! I am excited about that.

Thanks for the pictures Grandpa! Too bad we missed the fire, s'mores, and cutting the tree down. Ok, I'm not sorry to miss the tree part. ;) We had a wonderful time with you guys. Be sure to post lots of pictures of the next gathering in a week. Miss you all already!
