Dear Family,
Family Camp Inn – The Labor Day celebrations included: games and fun; a Sunday evening to Monday morning sleep over at Papa & Nona’s and a pancake, eggs, bacon breakfast.
Biker Brigade – This week the biker brigade included: Mom, Dad, Vanessa, Maureen, Sophia and Rex. They bike hiked from the Southeast trailhead along the Clinton River Trail to the playground and Nature Center and back again. Rex and Sophia enjoyed the visit to the playground and nature center. Saturday morning after an evening rain storm, Papa biked a long trail dodging flooded spots on his way to Ryan’s.
R & R Clan Arrival – The Ryan & Rachel Hreinson Clan arrived on Wednesday and Papa was the designated “Limo Driver” lucky enough to pick them up, while Nona drove Grandma Sparks to the doctor. Just as the plane landed Mia looked out the plane window and was disappointed that she did not see Papa there. Soon enough, Papa found Mia and her family at the baggage claim and all was hugs and kisses and smiles. It has been one party after another between Ryan & Maureen, Jim & Vanessa and Papa & Nona hosting various meals and games.
The Henry Ford – On Friday, Papa & Nona hosted the Hreinson clan history tour, which took them to the Ford Museum and Rouge Factory in Dearborn. It was a great show and we all learned a little bit about the history of and current level of technology of the auto industry. Papa found the best red color for an F-150.
Stake Conference – this weekend was highlighted with opportunities for edification with leadership meetings on Saturday and the Sunday morning general session. David Jensen was sustained as a counselor in the Stake Presidency replacing John Mackey. Both are great men. This makes that every former bishop of the Sterling Heights Ward has served in the Stake Presidency since Papa did in the late 1980’s.
Of course, the Clan all came over for dinner and fun, photos and canoeing at Papa and Nona’s after the Sunday Conference session.
Love y’all, Mom & Dad
