Family Vacation 2009! Part 1

We just got back last week from an AWESOME family vacation to Michigan!
We went to visit my brother Brian, his wife Lexie and their cute kids- Sophie, Nora & Miles.
On Saturday we drove out to a beautiful town called Charlotte to a party at their high councilman's farm.

What a cute family!

We got to go for a trailer ride pulled by a tractor through some beautiful farms.

Then we enjoyed a hot dog roast before we got to ride on their Amish neighbor's buggy. It was something else.

After the incredible Amish buggy ride, we went to a fun ice cream store called Mooville. It had a whole petting farm, a playground, giant sandpile, and yummy ice cream.

On Sunday we went for a walk at a nearby park that was so pretty.

Pretty Sophie girl, relaxing in a tree-

Monday we drove into Lansing to a Children's Museum- we loved the bubble section.


Ava & Miles had fun splashing and playing in the water.

Lexie & Matt sure look like they are having fun at this one :).

It was so fun getting to know Miles and his fun personality.

Out to dinner at a restaurant that used to be an old train.

Sitting on the train steps-

Tuesday we went to Tunnel Park on Lake Michigan. It felt like we were at the ocean because the lake is so big but it's not salty. It was beautiful. We had a blast playing in the sand & water.

I can't believe it - I already forgot that we did some of those things!! So fun. I love Ava's face in the water splashing one - and I'm going to have to update my blog now and add some more highlights to it (I'm thinking of a certain watermelon incident...) See you guys next month at your place!

We LOVE Lake Michigan! We have found that every city farther away from the 'city' is gorgeous. We are headed back to Lake Michigan every year now. Fun to see your family in MI. How nice to go and visit your brother! We love visitors!
