Highlights from MI

Our trip to Michigan to see my Dad and meet my Step Mom Annie for the first time was long over due! I hadn't seen my Dad since Ainsley turned a year old! What a trip and what wonderful memories to have for years to come!
We tried to cram as much as we possibly could into a very short amount of time. We even arrived home the night before school started. Annie's brother has a cabin in Traverse City where we spent a few days and nights. The kids swam, fished and kayaked. We roasted hot dogs and had s'mores. It was amazing!!!
This is Peegeo's Pizza...so delicious!
 Z's big catch
 Gone fishing
J preferred catching frogs in the frog pond
 Kayaking to the other side of the lake
 Ainsley's big catch
 after that she was hooked ;)
 Here froggy, froggy!
 Who knew they had so many corn fields in MI?!
 waiting to board the ferry to Mackinac Island


 a windy selfie!
 dipping their toes in the water
 driving back through Charlevoix we found the worlds largest cherry pie


 This was quite a surprise! We happened to take a different route than the GPS and happened to drive by this sign and this street. Couldn't resist a photo opp!!


 Hello Lake Michigan!
 Z as a hot dog at the Henry Ford Museum

 Exploded view of a Model T
 We love Faygo

So blessed to have been able to go visit my Dad and Annie. I miss Michigan but I miss them even more!

We're Baaaaaaaack!

I don't know if anyone even follows our blog anymore but I'm going to start posting more. I can't believe it has been over a year since I posted last! Crazy how time flies when you're having fun;)

All 4 kids officially started school today. They are in 5th, 4th, 2nd and Kinder now. It was strangely quiet around the house today.

We just vacationed in Michigan right before school started so hopefully I can post some of those highlights soon!
