Saturday, 19 Aug; Mackinaw to Pine Ridge RV Park, Birch Run, MT

We got up and enjoyed our coffee and then packed up to move.  We left Mackinaw and headed down to the palm of the hand of Michigan to Birch Run.  It is near Flint and Clio,  Michigan and we are here to visit Rob's sister Katy and her family.
It is another 6 hour drive so we didn't get down there until about 3:30 pm.  We set things up and then did a walk about.
We took Bella for a nice walk because we cannot take her out to Katy's.  They have two Akitas and they do not like little dogs.  Plus, dogs are not allowed in their house.
We brought Bella back and gave her some food and then headed to Katy's
She and the dogs were the only ones home when we arrived so she gave us a tour of the property.
They have been re-modeling their home for the past 4 years and everything is totally different than it was when we were there 5 years ago.  The lake is smaller and they have dug two new ponds.  One is going to be for trout and I forgot what sort of fish will be in the other.  Their awesome produce garden that I remember from before is gone or at least overgrown.  I didn't see it. And there is sand everywhere.  It is from them digging up the pond and moving it around the house.  They eventually will have concrete over if for their driveway and stuff.
Tim and he boys came home.  And we got the tour of the inside of the house.  We spent most of our time in the kitchen which is beautiful.  When it is all finished it will be really nice.
I failed to take pictures of them while we were there, but I did steal a picture off their computer.  
Here is one of the boys from one of their tournaments.  
Tommy is 18 years old now and Jimmy is 15.  Tommy is the oldest of our nieces and nephews on Rob's side of the family and Jimmy is the youngest.
We had a really nice dinner of Shrimp pasta and salad.  Katy is a good cook and totally into healthy food.  All 4 of them look great, slim, trim, healthy and strong.
They boys work out constantly and have several amazing gyms in the house.
I had a really nice visit with Katy while Rob, Tim and the boys visited together.
We went home and went to bed.
