Michigan 2014

Another great vacation at Lake Michigan and Portage Lake.  The first few days included a larger Smucker reunion with all of Grandpa Jon's siblings, many of Phil's cousins and their kids.  The weather was superb for the 10 days we were there.

Testing to see if the homemade icecream is stiff enough to stop cranking.



Jack loved jet-skiing this year.

This year was special because it was the first that Grandpa Jon had his big sailboat on the water. 






Sasha likes a good beach read.





Although Jack still takes regular naps at home, they were sporadic up in Michigan.

The annual trip to the bakery in Frankfort

Grandma planned a fun T-shirt decorating activity one morning.



We ate dinner at a lovely restaurant called Arcadia Bluffs that overlooks Lake Michigan. 


Sasha got up on waterskis for the first time!  She popped right up on the first try and skied around the lake. 

Best picture ever of Grandpa Jon!
