MI Vacation pictures

Last week we had a nice time at my parent's place in MI....after we finally arrived. I was out too late the night before at a ladies' wine night and despite getting the on the road fairly early, it took us 4.5 hours instead of the usual 2 or so hours. Ugh.

In the five or so days we were in MI we got in a lot of beach time and a lot of time in the backyard with some new outdoor toys for the kids. Buster got to enjoy lots of outside time and extra petting from my parents as well. CP and I took the kids to St. Joseph one day which is highly recommended if you are in SW MI. Wes was asleep before the fireworks on the 3rd, but Izzy wanted to stay up. My mom and I drove her to a nearby golf course to watch the fireworks and she lasted for about two minutes before saying that they were too loud and she wanted to go home. Maybe next year. I was able to get three solid runs in which made me pretty happy, despite the fact that I had to wake up early on vacation to get them done.

The other big excitement of the week is that Wesley has his first molar. I can't believe he got a molar before some of his other bottom front teeth (he still only has his two front bottom teeth), but at least that one is done!



Festive Wesley really liked playing with this ball


Serious Pie Face game. Izzy and CP were the only people to not get hit (my dad got hit three times!). Izzy thought the game was hilarious.

Izzy loves the carousel




This picture makes me giggle

Wesley did a pretty good job playing with the sand instead of eating it at the beach

CP starts his new job next Monday and this will likely be our only vacation of the year because of money and no vacation time so it was fun while it lasted!

The kids are adorable! It's wonderful to see them playing in the sand and everything. It must've been a great time and good for you, for getting a few runs in. That's really impressive motivation you've got there. :D

Anytime I see beach pictures, I always get instant jealousy. Looks like a great time! And that's hilarious about that molar. :)
