Bay City Pig Gig Trip!

This year the residents went to the Bay City Pig Gig for their summer trip! They stayed in Bay City for 2 nights at the Double Tree Hotel in Bay City. They did a lot of things in those 3 days! They went to the museum where they saw a lot of interesting artifacts, went out to eat at a few favorites like Big Boy, saw a concert and of course, the Pig Gig! It was a really great time - wonder where they will go next year!

Getting ready to load up!

Stopping at Big Boy, yum!

Arriving at the hotel - very nice!

The clients left today for their annual summer trip. This year they are heading to the Bay City Pig Gig!! It was sad to see them go, it sure is an empty house without them! But we know they will have a great time and make many memories. Everyone will be back on Friday. And don't forget, the Summerfest at County View is this Saturday! Busy, busy, BUSY!!

We made a new recipe at Country View - Raspberry Chocolate Croissants! The raspberries are just starting to come out at Country View and so we wanted to try something new with them! These are delicious! The recipe will be in the October newsletter, try them out!

Balloon Launch!

Today was the balloon launch! We sent about 50 balloons up in the air with a note to write us back so hopefully we'll get some letters back and see how far they go! We got quite a few back last year - we have a lot of fun doing this activity!

Scarecrow!

There are many activities we do on the fly that might not be on the monthly activity calendar... for example, today we made a scarecrow for Carol's garden! We named him Billy Bob! The animals will be sure to stay away from this guy!

Rummage/Bake Sale 2010!

The annual Rummage/Bake Sale was a success! Luckily the rain held off both days so we were able to hold it outside! We had tables full of items and had baked goods ranging from cookies to rice krispies treats and even pies this year! Pies were a hot item so we'll be sure to have them next year. The grand total made was $260.31! The proceeds from the sale will go towards an outing of choice for the clients. A big thank you to all that helped out with the sale!!!

Some of the tables set up.
