Summer Vacation 2013…

We spent June 24th-27th in Ludington, MI at The Palapa. Our friends Mike and Julie let us use their house on Lake Michigan. We all LOVE it!  And them;) 

Me and my gang…

The kids LOVE climbing the dunes…

Landan's "smile" that he now has his brothers using…LOL!

GORGEOUS sunsets…

Lunch with the gang…

You can do it Lia…that is the lake house in the background;)

Football at the beach…

Lorelle loved this dog at the park…its name was Leo, bet you can guess why;)

Never too big for the park;)

Such a good big brother…

Our favorite ice cream shop…

Yes…he ate the entire thing;)

Love family time with my wild and crazy gang…

FIRST swim in our new pool!!!:)

The day the kids had been longing for since April was FINALLY here... On June 18th, the kiddos got to take their first swim in our new pool:) Who needs concrete...we just made a cardboard patio and went for it;) SO exciting!!!

Liam trying to help Lorelle float...

Let the races begin...

Lilyan was very sweet and took it upon herself to give Lia a swim lesson...

She can be such a great sis...when she wants to be;)

The kids went from the pool to the trampoline...

Such a gorgeous, FUN day...the first of many summer swimming days<3
