Michigan!

Why do we drive 14 hours with 3 kids to Glen Lake, MI???

In spite of 50 degrees and rain the first 2-3 days we were there, the Barkers were gracious hosts---as always---everyone had a ball, and we made up for lost time when the sun came out.  Not jumping shots this year as the camera stayed on land most days, but the Killians showed some air this year, for sure!

It was the summer of wake surfing for the Barkers and 

Michael was able to give it a shot.

I. LOVE. THIS. PICTURE.

Our morning over at Lake Michigan and the famous 

Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes...

Can you see the yellow water plane that just took off?

Only in MI can you get away with underwear on the dock

 Kayaking with Daddy

Jack (9) showing Andrew the lay of the lake.

I think Margaret swung 80% of her waking hours that week!  

If only there was a crank...

Morning fun in Glen Arbor's parks.

Homemade ice cream for all, hand-cranked by kids from 2 - 20!

 Happily sportin' his first OSU hat, while "army crawling" for the first time!

Donna rockin' it our last night in the water.

Coolest Mom EVER:)

Bill and Donna - the happy couple behind it all at our grown-up dinner.

...And that is why we drive 14 hours with 3 kids to Glen Lake, MI. 

It doesn't get much better than this.
