Great Grandpa Jay & Grandma Ruthann


Every year we hit the beach at Great Papa's Beach in Holland, Michigan. Even Great Grandpa Jay went to the beach when he was a baby. Grandpa Jake & Grandma Johanna used to take their kids to Port Sheldon. That would make 84 + years of the Bilthuis Family getting together in Michigan.

As Grandpa Jay often says, "look, another generation". He says that while he is sitting on the deck overlooking the lake watching his kids, his grand kids, and now his Great Grandchildren.  If I counted correctly, Bennick Henry (Henry after Mom) Braden's arrival on September 4th, makes 22 great grandchildren.  

Are we blessed or what?
