11 years (August 4)

 We decided to get a babysitter for the kids and ride our bikes up to Three Rivers, MI to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.  (50 mile round-trip bike ride - fun!).  We rode past the downtown area and a Bed and Breakfast that we stayed at many years ago on our way from Chicago to Ann Arbor for a Michigan Football game.  We ate at a place called Frankie's.  It was a restaurant recently remodeled (and menu updated) by the Food Network.  (the show will air on the Food Network on September 5 @9EST).  The food was resonably priced and tasted pretty good.  Little did we know that the excitement of our evening would be trying to "beat" the approaching storm home to Sturgis :)
 We had cake with the kids and showed them our wedding and honeymoon album.
 oh.... and a "small" biking accident too :)  Ross was pretending to be a BMX biker (who was actually riding a road bike!)  and jump over some railroad tracks.... he made it over the first set... but ... not the 2nd set... i slowed down in reaction to Ross falling and didn't unclip my left foot.  As i was talking to Ross, my tire got caught in the railroad track and I lost my balance..... when your shoe is still clipped to the bike and you loose your balance.... YOU WILL FALL - ugh!  so here we are showing our wounds :)
the sky started to clear.... AFTER we got home.  (We did have to stop on the way home because i was a little nervous about the lightening strikes.... we stopped at a place that was having a garage sale set up in tents.... no one was around for the evening so we took cover for a few minutes!)  An Anniversary to remember for sure!
