July 2015
We had beautiful weather and a beautiful rental home this year in Michigan City, IN!
For the most part we stayed close to the water...to keep cool.
Warning....lots of pictures on this post! Guess that means lots of good memories!
We road our bikes about a half mile to the beach almost every day.
And when we weren't biking or relaxing on the beach we were in the pool.
The kids pool was great! It was only a few feet deep which made it fun for our kids to dive for pennies.
They hardly stayed above water long enough for me to get a picture...so here's one of them...under water!!
ooh...caughtcha!
South Haven
Thanks to a friend's recommendation we took a day trip up into Michigan to
visit a town called South Haven. We walked out onto this pier to see the bright red light house.
Daddy and his kiddos...
Mommy and the kiddos...
...they were great posers on this particular day...
"hey Mom...take a picture of me" is what I heard all afternoon...
...view of the marina...
"take our picture" love these cute kids...
...lunch with a view...
After browsing through lots of little touristy shops we decided our lunch was
settled enough to go get some ice cream...mmm.mmmm.mmmm.
Happy Birthday to ME
Sarina was surprised to wake up Thursday morning to see U. Andrew had arrived!
My "birthday cake" coffee cake!!
I didn't get them all blown out on one breath...too many candles;)
And then off to a relaxing day at the beach again...
...and some frizbe...
...and some pretty clouds...
Kent took me out on a date for my birthday. We ate outside at a place called Bridges.
I would definitely go back!
My yummy meal.
I had a really fun Birthday...and even got the piece of cheesecake for dessert that I wished for!
Scavenger Hunt
Grandpa and Grandma made a fun scavenger hunt for the kids...
Reilly and Lemuel read the clues and the the little ones just trailed behind...
...while the kids were looking for one of their next clues I quick snapped a picture of this mountain...
you see...we all climbed that mountain...that very BIG mountain...its bigger than it looks from here!!
...one of the clues told them to run around this dock...
getting close...
...to the treasure!!!!! a cash box full of MONEY!!!!!
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!!!
Giving U. Andrew's slack line a try...
The pro!
Grandma headed out onto the lake behind our vacation home to do some paddle boarding.
The cutest cleaning lady...
A beautiful evening for family pictures on the beach...
I think everyone but me was complaining about getting dressed up for just a few pictures...
Maybe someday they'll appreciate them...
...these were supposed to be on the photographer's (Grandpa's) face...somehow they ended up on her...
My favorite little munchkins...
Beautiful sunset...
And last but not least...because it's one of my favorites...Reilly's a great photographer!!!
Fun times and many memories.
Great to be on vacation....and great to be home again!!!
