Michigan Memories

We had a great time with our family in Michigan this summer!
Papa Nick and Grandma's is always a lot of fun!
 We sure do love these two!

Molly's First Swim

Molly thinking about getting in ...
She caught on quick and loved the lake

And the sunbathing afteward!

Pontoon Party!


Papa Nick rented this awesome double decker pontoon with a water slide for the day!
The kids had a blast sliding down into the lake
There were all sorts of ways down

Uncle Scott's graceful attempt
We enjoyed floating around the lake
Swimming and entertaining each other
Papa Nick even went down the slide at the very end of the day - love the life preserver!
It was a great day!

Ladies Luncheon

We enjoyed an afternoon lunch - just the girls!

Claire and Emily trying to have their best manners - not sure they really passed but they look sweet here!

 Thanks Grandma for a special day!

Campfire Stories

We were thoroughly entertained by the cousins and their stories/skits

Then it was Papa Nick's turn to entertain the grandkids 

And to top off the evening - SMORES!

Michigan Tradition

Feeding the goats at Friske's Orchard
 Some new babies this year

Always a fun outing with the cousins

Dance Camp

 Our little ballerinas before their last day of camp
 All dolled up for the show
 They wanted to put Molly in a tutu too!
 Our Rapunzel friends at camp

 The finale - a pizza party with our friends afterwards. 
  It is so fun to watch all these girls together!
