We're back!

We have returned from the 2nd annual Graham family Michigan trip! We had a great time and have returned very relaxed...all you can ask for from a vacation! It was a very different experience from last year's trip when Garrett was only 9 weeks old. This year it was all about chasing a toddler and washing sand out of creases. The weather was cooler and rainier than last but we made the best of it, but we did get three sunny days out of six! We spent time in downtown Union Pier eating ice cream and shopping. When the weather was nice we were at the beach or in the pool. Something new this year, our cabin had private beach access and we were able build a fire and enjoy smores, yum!! We ended the week with dinner at local favorite The Stray Dog! Enjoy the many pics!


Garrett and daddy splash'n around. The water was 55 degrees, burrrr!

Mr. "I do-it-myself" walking to the beach


It was a little cool the first day for swimsuits.




Garrett loved the rocks and could not wait to get dirty.


So he did and the beach quickly became a nudist colony


Garrett buried his cousin in he sand; he thought this was so funny!


Our night fireside on the beach!


Mommy's favorite SMORES!


As you can see...Garrett's favorite part was the chocolate.


Enjoying more sweets...that is what vacation is all about!
