More Fun....

We had a chance to get away over a long weekend. We took the girls the the waterpark in Mackinaw City, and camped at Wilderness State Park. From there we made our way to Grand Rapids to visit family and go to my Physical Therapy class reunion. A great time!

We had a tailgate picnic when we arrived at the waterpark. Emma was so excited.

Ashlyn, hanging out in the shade. It really wasn't that warm, so Ashlyn stayed out of the water.

When we first got the the park, Em went from really excited to afraid to try anything. After a bit, she got to enjoy the wave pool, lazy river and one slide. She wanted to ride a big slide with Brad but was too short. Every year she gets a little more courage.....

Emma with her first smore of the trip.

Mmmmm, camping breakfast.

Yep, we tent camped with a 5 month old. Ashlyn did really well. We had her pack-n-play in the tent with us, which worked great. We had rain the second night, and some leaks in the tent, but overall we stayed dry and survived our first camping adventure of the year.

Daddy buried Em's legs.

Emma, Grandpa, and the unfortunate wood chuck.....or some would call it "ground chuck". :)

My PT reunion was a ton of fun!!! I loved seeing everyone again......Emma played well with all the kids. Here is she with Ryan and Charlie.

Here Andrew is showing Emma his new sister Leah. Emma and Andrew were born weeks apart......I have pictures of them as newborns in their carseats together, and look at them now. It was so nice to see my classmates and friends, meet their families......crazy how things can change so much, and yet stay the same. Great times.

We also got to spend time with nearly all of Brad's siblings and their families( we missed Mark, Amber, Hallie, and Addi, but we were happy they were having a great time celebrating their 9 year anniversary!!) If only we had more time......there were a load of people we didn't get to visit, as always.



Update on Brad's baby......the garage. :) It's coming along really well. Construction is done, and now it's time to get going on the wiring.
