Goodbye to a Family Favorite


Today is the end of an era in our family.  We are saying goodbye to the "Michigan Shoes".  After faithfully serving both Faith and Shane over the course of four years, it came time to buy a new pair of Crocs for Shane today.  With a hole in the front  of one and no traction on the bottoms, it was probably past time to get a new pair!!  So when we spotted a Crocs store while walking through the mall today, the timing just seemed right to make a change!  I don't know how much those shoes cost, but they were worth every penny Grandma Bruinsma spent!!

And while the shoes have run their race, the memory will live on as both kids still refer to their Crocs as "Michigan shoes!"

And here are the replacements!  Shane wanted another yellow pair, but after hearing that blue was a Michigan color as well, he choose these!  And upon arriving home, he stated, "Thanks for the new Michigan's mom.  They fit really well."  Yes, he seriously said that!  And he is so excited about them, he is currently wearing them in bed!
