May 1st to September 17th - Our Time in Michigan

 We arrived at Holiday Shores in Michigan on May 1st.  We had no clue what the year would bring.  We were not sure if the park would be able to have any of the fun events that we had last year.  I am happy to report that they were able to safely plan events and we have had a ball.

One of the first events was a car show and Sundays on Sunday.  

The 4th of July was a blast.  There was a cart parade and ice cream

We had lots of kids this year for a bike parade and

kids fun and games.

A boat parade and Kona Ice

A parking lot party with pizza and music

All these events rounded out our 4th of July at the Shores

Now on to Christmas in July

And Halloween in August

We also had some family fun this year.

Andrea and the boys came to Michigan and 

we got to celebrate Ian's 9th birthday.

We also got Hitch Itch and headed to rollways campground in Hale, MI.

It was rustic glamping at it's best.

I got to take some walks in woods and cook on the fire pit.  

It was wonderful.

Bill is doing good.  He is on his third type of chemo and we are so blesses that he 

has tolerated them all very well.  All his counts have been good except his platelets.  The platelets are slow to come back up.  His weight is hanging around 170 but he still enjoys eating. 

9/23 No chemo today.  Platelets still too low. The Dr is doing a blood test to see if it is the cancer or the chemo that is affecting them. The blood test is for "Giant platelets".  I need to look that up.  I guess if his platelets are giant then he can have chemo.  Not sure why this wasn't checked before.  He will also have a CT scan the week of the 5th to see if the cancer is stable.  If his cancer has not grown she will hold chemo till we get to Florida.  If he has Giant platelets she will give the chemo.

If the cancer is growing and his platelets are not Giant that means the cancer is winning.  They are still fighting for him.

 

We head to Florida October 18th after a week of camping with our group.  The summer has gone by fast. 

 Hopefully our paths will cross again soon!
