Our family spent a wonderful week in Michigan at the beginning of June. We met Mum and Dad at the cottage, where they've spent some time every summer the last nine years. The best part of the cottage has to be the beach. The kids love to play there and Tristan and Calvin where brave enough to join Grandpa for an almost daily swim.
One afternoon, we rented bikes and had a nice ride from Mears to Shelby, about ten miles round trip. In the first picture you see Noah getting situated in his carrier behind Grandpa's bike, Floris sat next to him for the first mile or so, but was too excited to sit still, so he ended up running along-side Grandma. Tristan and I had our own bike, Robert and Calvin rode together, Calvin on a tag-along behind Robert's bike. I hadn't ridden a bike in about ten years, and was happy to discover I still remembered the basics.
We visited two lighthouses, Big Sauble in Ludington State Park and North Breakwater Light in Ludington. The first involved quite an adventuresome hike on the beach in stormy weather, but the view made it all worthwhile. The lighthouse in Ludington is next to a playground that we've stopped to play in every time we've visited the lighthouse.

glad to see pictures from the trip!
Thanks for the pictures Jennifer! The bike trip looks like it was a lot of fun! We have a trailer like that for JJ and KK. At first Michaela screamed the entire time, just ask Dad, but now she happily toddles over to it when it is time to go. We take it everywhere, so JJ is glad she has learned to enjoy the ride. I still can't get over how old noah is looking! What a handsome set of boys you have! I love you!
