Lake Michigan holds such a special place in my heart. I grew up visiting my grandparents there every summer, and to now have my sons experience Lake Michigan with me, is pretty awesome and surreal at the same time. Ethan had a blast hanging with his uncles and cousins and it was really special for my grandmother and mom to meet Wyatt too.
Here is just a small glimpse of our trip...there are so many photos, it's hard to narrow it down, but this post is still really photo heavy, so there is your official warning! ;)
First, isn't the view from my grandma's back deck stunning?! She is about a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan and I'm telling you, this view never gets old!
Our first full day was sunny and beautiful, so we had to take advantage of tons of beach time!
Wyatt loved it too!
Ethan's favorite part was getting buried in the sand and building drop castles with his uncles.
Ethan also tried his hand at badminton!
Sunday was a bit cooler, but that didn't stop us from hitting up my favorite ice cream spot, Pekadill's!
Cousins!
My sis-in-law!
Family photo in front of my favorite lighthouse!
One benefit of stormy weather? It makes for a STUNNING backdrop!
And Wyatt got lots of floor time inside. He loved my grandma's vintage Playskool milk bottles.
Walking the path down to the beach.
Did I mention Ethan loved to be buried?!
We also hit up the Oceana County Fair where there were lots of farm animals, fun rides and fried food!
Ethan was not too sure about the goats!
But he was tall enough to go on the ferris wheel!
And some other fun rides too! ;)
Of course, we had to get an elephant ear to round out the trip! ;)
The next day we took Ethan horseback riding at Rainbow Ranch and I was stunned that Ethan rode his own horse!
I mean, look at that bravery!
Overall, we had the best time and I was so happy to spend time with family and show Ethan {and Wyatt to some extent} what I love most about Lake Michigan!
Do you have a childhood vacation spot that is sentimental to you?

ReplyDeleteBinary Options demo accounts are valuable assets to both novice and experienced traders alike. Many new traders sign up with a broker, make their deposit and wonder why they lose it all in a short period of time. There are many reasons for this but using a demo account will certainly help your chances of success.

ReplyDeleteWow, I love your photos! Your boys are the cutest!! Looks like you all had a wonderful trip. I love Lake Michigan too. I've been to Mackinac Island, which I really enjoyed and would love to go back soon. It's been many years since I've been there now, so a return trip is long overdue. Your pics are just inspiring me to get back there...maybe next summer!
