Michigan

Nate, Finley and I spent 2 1/2 weeks in Michigan this summer introducing Finley to his dad's side of the family. We had enjoyed family dinners, walks, a few trips to the lakes, cherry picking, wine tasting, and plenty of other things that I'm too sleep deprived to remember right now (it was a long night last night).

Bouncing with Uncle Cooper


Finley, Marcia, and Holly (Holly wasn't a bit phased by Finley)


Going on a walk with Dad


Beach picnic at Lake Michigan


At a vineyard with a nice lake view


Getting to know Amy


Jane and Finley


Nate, Finley and Great-grandma!


Jim and two hungry doggies


The dogs didn't get enough food, so they moved on to Kay




The view at the end of our hike


Finley is riding forward in the Baby Bjorn (when he's awake) now that his neck is stronger!


Cooper and Amy following behind


Michigan cherries


Jane and Nate picking tart cherries


How do you wear this thing?


The trees were full of cherries!


Collecting lots of cherries (which we pitted ourselves, one at a time) for our cherry crisp...only 50 cents a pound!



Walking through the rows of cherry trees


Washing the cherries at the farm


Finley at Crystal Lake, coated in tons of sunscreen. Maybe next year he'll be running into the water instead of sleeping!


Sitting with Fafee


Finley with his dad, and Nate with his dad


Measuring Finley for the board at Tim & Marcia's


Quality time with Great-grandma
