June 2008 - Grandparents Visit
Grandma and grandpa Centellas were in Michigan from June 6th to the 25th, 2008. It was a fun time. They rented a cabin on Secord Lake and everyone came and went during the three weeks. I got to make it all three weekends which was nice. Below are photos, some taken by me, some by Heather but most by my dad. Enjoy!

June 6 - 8: Heather and I went up the day after my parents arrived. We spent some time with Kelly's girls and Uncle Ed and Aunt Cyndi. The girls are at a fun age and it of course is nice to catch up with my parents and Ed and Cyndi.
