vacation pix-- a tad bit late

We vacation in Michigan now that we don't live in Michigan. I find that humorous. We lived there for 7+ years and rarely travelled the state. I think we were just a bit too busy with ministry, and when we had time to vacation, we wanted to get AWAY-- closer to family and friends. We did another Michigan tour this summer and had great family time.

My kids, like most, love staying in hotels. If they had a hotel available, they'd think we were on vacation regardless of where it was located. We spent some time hanging out in hotels, but had a stop with our friends. That's where I had fun taking pictures!




When Mike referenced Isaiah as Lydia's "buddy" at dinner last week, she told Mike that "she thinks she's going to marry him." They certainly make a cute couple now :)


Kilwins has dairy free ice cream!!! Yeah for Jonah!


It was the 4th of July. We had a show with some of Noah's fireworks.


That fire bomb was very dangerous :)


The real thing.

We love our friends. They're such gracious hosts (Thanks, guys!)

After Charlevoix we headed to Mackinac. Our kids love this adventure.
