Michigan

We are finally home after a wonderful month in Michigan. The boys and I left on July 14th and headed for beautiful Michigan. We had a bit of a rough start with the flight there and then the flu was passed around from Noah to Grandpa to cousins and Nina. We spent the first week nursing everybody back to health, but from then on had a pretty great time. We spent a lot of time at the beach, the pool, Mackinac Island, and jumping on Grandpa's trampoline! I even had a chance to catch up with some old high school friends who I hadn't seen in at least 15 years! Overall it was a great trip and we loved visiting with everybody!
Two of my best girlfriends from high school...  Out for dinner and drinks!  

We found out that Noah LOVES blue moon ice cream... Can ya tell??
And so does Gabe!
Our first day at the beach...

Noah and his Nina... 
There weren't any other people on this beach except one grandmother and her two granddaughters... They had a pink truck and of course my child found it...  He carried that jeep around all afternoon... 
And this is how Mommy and Daddy get to relax...

We rode bikes around the island (apprx 8 miles)... It is absolutely beautiful!  This is one of my favorite places to visit when we visit Michigan.
