Vacation Baby!!!!

We just finished an amazing week of vacation together. We tried to keep it simple, but fun, and enjoy the great things that surround us. So, we spent a day at Thunder Falls Water Park in Mackinaw City, a day on Lake Superior, and a few days camping at Van Riper State Park. Here are some highlights.

Emma, ready to hit the park!

Ashlyn and Mom. Ashlyn did enjoy the lazy river and wave pool when it was calm.

Em and Dad. We spent a lot of time in the lazy river. :)

I did get to go down one "big" slide.

Breakfast at the picnic table. We got rained out our last morning, but the girls enjoyed breakfast while mom and dad packed up camp between bouts of rain.

Brad and Ashlyn.

Ashlyn, multi-tasking. :)

Our site. Love our little tent.

Emma had a blast riding her bike around the campground. And yes, that is Ashlyn bringing her chair out to the middle of the road. Let's just say, she's busy. :)

"Who me?"

Brad and his girls on Lake Superior. It was an amazing day out on the water!

Crystal clear.......this was more than a few feet deep.

Napping on the big lake.

We beached the pontoon on Miner's Beach to play for a bit.

It really wasn't THAT cold, considering it was Lake Superior. :) We all went swimming without having to "work" at it.

We are so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty and were grateful to be able to use my parents' pontoon boat to get up close to some amazing cliffs. It was a gift to be able to spend a whole week together, and we enjoyed every adventure. Great memories made.
