August 2015

We were in Michigan for 2 weeks this year.  The second week Phil's whole family joined us.  An evening walk down to the pier is one of my favorite traditions

Piling in the van to go run down Sand Mountain after dinner one night

These kids were like sea gulls attacking this bag of popcorn for a bedtime snack

Grandma explaining the rules of the treasure hunt she had created.  Michigan sweatshirts, candy, juice, and other snacks awaited them at the end of the hunt up in the woods at the old picnic table.

Jumping rope was a popular activity this year
