pit stop :-)

We just got back from Michigan this afternoon and we're home just long enough to unpack, do laundry and repack before we leave for Missouri in the morning.

I know things are going to be crazy when we get back... with (home)school starting and everything so I thought I would post some Michigan photos real quick. I know I'll have a ton from Missouri as well.

We got to Jeff's parents house Saturday night. Within 15 minutes of our arrival, the kids were in the lake.

See how calm the water was...
it didn't last long...
The next day was spent outside. Jeff's brother and his family came over, plus his aunt, uncle and cousin. A friend of Jeff's from high school came over with his family.

Here two of his boys and Alex pretend to ride the wave runner...
Due to the abundance of boys, Clara spent most of her day playing with the little girl who lives a couple houses down.

Until it was her turn on the wave runner...
Bean bag is always present at these gatherings, so a girls v. boys tournament was raging on most of the time we were there.

Here Jeff and the kids watch a bean bag that could spell yet another loss for the boys (Jeff and his brother)....
what do you think happened??? LOL!
Yes, it went in and the boys lost again.

The kids then got out the bubbles. The wind was raging by then so we sent them out to the seawall to do the bubbles since we were getting quite soapy. Apparently, you can never be too safe when blowing bubbles by the water...

The next morning, the light was so pretty I wanted to try photos with Clara, but she wouldn't stop moving... sigh.

But doesn't the water look cool?
At sunset they wouldn't stop moving either....
We capped our last night there with a fire and s'mores! YUM!
Okay... off to change the laundry!

See you Sunday night!

'nite!
