Corless Clan Connection - Sterling Heights, Michigan 18 September 2011


Dear Family,
Balls Balls - This week has been full of feet and balls. Tyler’s frustrating football game on Thursday in Port Huron was attended by Jim, Vanessa, Papa and Ryan Hreinson. Saturday morning, Joshua, Preston and Jacob played their spirited games of flag football in the Upward League in Fraser. Samantha played her overwhelming win soccer game in Sterling Heights on Saturday at noon in Sterling Heights. Ryan and Rachel Hreinson and Papa were shocked to watch BYU give the game to Utah on a virtual silver platter. 
Tyler throws the perfect pass!
Jacob grabs flag for a loss on the play!
Preston runs for a gain.
Sam boots it down field.
Bikers - Monday Papa and Nona hosted a bike ride for Ryan, Rachel, Mia and Lydia on the Clinton River Trail.  Mia & Lydia enjoyed the playground at the end of our hike.
For the Birds - Tuesday Dad crawled up into the attic to find that birds had found a way in and had setup housekeeping or more correctly mess-making just above Rachel’s bedroom. Another item on Dad’s to do list.
Zootrip - Wednesday Papa & Nona hosted a trip to the zoo for Sophia, Mia, Lydia and Rachel & Ryan.  They saw all sorts of animals including: butterflies, birds, penguins, frogs, bears, seals, giraffes, rhinoceroses, monkeys, lions, camels, etc. Not to mention that the picnic lunch was joined by five freeloading peacocks.

Ancient Art Adventure - Friday morning, Papa & Nona took the Hreinson’s to the Detroit Institute of Art to see the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman exhibits.
Happy Reign - The family has really enjoyed the visit of Rachel & Ryan. Special thanks to Jim & Vanessa and Ryan & Maureen for their hospitality. It has been a great time together for the children and for the adults. We will missed them when they leave for Denver tomorrow. We were grateful to be altogether Sunday evening to celebrate Ryan’s 35th and Mia’s 4th birthdays which will actually be the 20th.  Happy Birthday to both!

Love y’all, Mom & Dad
