Today is "Hug Grandbabies' Day" it is the reason we are stopped here. A short/anxious 35 miles back south and we will spend the day with our son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren. As much as we love our lifestyle we do miss seeing our children and grandchildren and cannot wait to get there.

| The ride. |

| Three Grandbabies! |
It was a wonderful day.

It RAINED today. The heavy downpour started during the night and lasted most of the day. Which means we had a steady drip coming from the roof leak in the front.
 |
| There is "some" water in the park |
 |
| and the walking trail above right is a "little" wet. |
 |
| You have to give these "weekend warriors" credit as soon as it turned to only a sprinkle they were out building campfires, walking, and riding bikes. |
We spent the day inside dry, warm, and keeping the area under the drip dry. Not one of our best days especially because of the leak and the rain but it is what it is not everyday can be "sunshine and roses".

Happy Easter!
As we drove to St. Clair Shores this morning, we left the park at 7:00AM, we could see blue skies in between the clouds. It is going to be a wonderful Easter.
 |
| While still on M-29 the clouds disappeared and we could see the moon. |
We are on our way to Easter Mass with our family at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church in St. Clair Shores. This is their parish, just a few blocks from where they live, and it is beautiful. Stopped at the red light just before the church we watched as they pulled out of their street in front of us.
 |
| The Altar area filled with flowers. |
 |
| Then back home to see what the Easter Bunny brought. |
I rarely think to take pictures of the food but we had two wonderful meals today. Breakfast after mass was egg bake, corned beef hash, bacon and toast. For dinner our son made Beef Wellington and added to that was grilled potatoes, asparagus and corn on the cob. We definitely ate well this Easter.
 |
| Our daughter and her family. We did get to talk to them and the cousins all got to visit. (Looking forward to seeing them in person in a couple of weeks.) |
 |
| The moon was shining over the river across from the park when we got back home. |
Arriving back this evening we can see that a lot of the RVer's have already left. Check out time here is 1 o'clock so hopefully they enjoyed a fun morning of sunshine before they had to pack up and leave.

The sun is again shining and the sky is a wonderful blue. Tom is having fun dumping some of our grey water; a couple of trips to the dump station with some collapsible containers we purchased for the task. Then he will replenish our fresh water tank. As he is doing that I am sitting her typing this and watching RVer's pack up and pull out of the park this morning. When he is finished we will be heading over to spend time with our family.
 |
| Then it is Monday. |
 |
| One of several large boats we have seen on the St. Clair River. This one is headed downriver towards Lake St. Clair. |
 |
| Driving beside the St. John's Marsh |
 |
| we spot a Turtle X-ing |
 |
| and a Muskrat X-ing. Though in all the years we have driven by here we have never seen either one. Maybe this year. |
 |
| I took a ride over to the Selinsky Green Log Cabin with my daughter-in-law. She is a member of the St. Clair Shores Historical Commission and has talked about this house several times. Today I had the opportunity to check it out. |
 |
| She was doing an assignment for one of her Master Classes and it was interesting to see this lovely small farmhouse museum. |
 |
| Our spot here at Algonac State Park. |
It was an enjoyable day. I spent a quiet morning here at the park and Tom took care of a couple of household chores. Then we spent the rest of the day with our children and grandchildren which would be the best part of the day. The second best part was sunshine and blue skies.
We are glad you stopped by and we hope you had a nice Easter Weekend with your family.
If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
