So last we heard from our wanderings Tim & I had just been to our renuion. Fortunitaly the rest of our summer was much more eventful.
For my birthday (in Aug.), we loaded up the kids (minus Merrick, he was a football camp) and headed to Mackinaw City. It was a warm, sunny, wonderful day. We had a good time together and had some fun. Ethan and Tim climbed a lighthouse. They said that Ethan could go, but he had to climb the 44 (or so) stairs himself and the 11 rung ladder into the top.
We bought Ethan a miniture of this lighthouse so he would have a keepsake of the lighthouse he climbed.
A little dark, I know, I was shooting into the sun. But Tim & Ethan are waving Hi.
After a walking around the park we changed Ethan into his swimmers and we took the kids into Lake Huron. We went in right by the Mackinaw Bridge, so it's in some of the shots. The water was warm and Ethan had a blast. He loves playing in the water.
Sophie wasn't sure what to do.
The stones are all over, there is no soft sand. However, that didn't stop Ethan. Off went the shoes and off went the boy, with daddy close behind.
It took some work and a little screaming (from Ethan), but we got the kids loaded up to go eat and leave. We had to be back home by 6 p.m. to get Merrick from football camp. It was a really wonderful day!!
