and we have a winner...

MISS LAURA BELLE got it right when she guessed five days old. your surprise from owen will be in the mail by the end of the week, girlie :) and thanks to everyone who played. it was so fun to see all of your guesses.

and in other news...this past sunday, mom, crystal, barry, trevor, douggie, adam, owen, and i headed out to west beach at the dunes to climb the boardwalk that adam has been working on for over a year now. we had a fun time, despite the fact that i was terrified that a snake was going to crawl out of the beach grass at any moment. i forgot the camera again, but douggie was there to take a few pics with his phone, which suprisingly turned out pretty good. (thanks, uncle douggie.) heres a few of owen playing in lake michigan for the first time...



and heres one of adam with his nps co-worker, wayne, at the top of the boardwalk on the observation deck.

hope everyone had a nice labor day weekend.
