MI, Part 2

There was much fun to be had in Michigan!  Finley couldn't get enough of this kid-sized drum set Grandma Jane found for him!  It was entirely too loud for him to play inside the house, but this was a perfect spot.



Elise played with Mickey, one of Nate and Cooper's old dolls circa 1981!


And then there was the zipline...




Water balloons were a bit hit, as well!  Finley saved one that he tried to convince Nate to carry back to HK.


Then it was time for a little run through the sprinkler with Mickey and Grandma Jane.

We certainly enjoyed family dinners, as always.  Such generous hosts.

We even got to meet a new cousin!  Nate's cousin Jessie and her husband Custer had baby John about 8 weeks ago.  So cute.

Here's a little friend we met at Fafee and Grandma Holly's house.  I tried to tell this tiny mouse that it's not safe to sleep in the driveway, but he wouldn't listen to me.  I'll leave the rest to your imagination.  :(

We were determined to spend some time on the lovely Lake MI beaches, despite chilly weather.

No trip to the lake is complete without a beach picnic, but the weather wasn't the best, so we ate dinner inside.


But we made it out for dessert...smores!!





Elise's first taste of a smore!




This is the sweetest thing EVER!  Big brother sharing a bite of his smore.  :)




Yay!  What a great trip to MI!
