Michiana

Our Summer trip this year was to Michigan to see Eric's sister and her family. My sister lives at about the half way point to her house so we were able to see her as well! Here are my kiddies with my sister's kids. Isaiah wasn't in the mood for pics.


Here is Uncle Terry with Clark. Clark was very content with him. (and his feet) (:

Here are the kids with cousin Katie, Eric's sister's youngest. She's the only person who could get Bianca to wear that kind of bow in her hair. They are having dinner on the deck where Bianca got a splinter which resulted in a huge 3 hour meltdown and three large adults holding her down to remove it. It will forever be referred to as "the splinter incident" from this trip. Every trip has something right?!

Ahhhhhh, the lovely beaches of Michiana. Bianca is a girl after my own heart. She rolled in the sand, she danced on the beach and at the end of the day I found her just sitting and singing on the shore. My little beach girl.

Wyatt got brave and went out pretty far on the sand bar. It helped that it was so shallow. He had a great time. He kept calling to me, "Mommy, look at me!"

Clark's first trip to the beach. I put his feet in the water but he didn't like it much. He did kick with excitement when he saw the water but I think it was too cold for him.


That 5 minutes in the sun just wore him out!


Cousin Katie and Bianca. Katie is a bad influence. Before Bianca went to sleep one night she said, "Daddy, I want an American Doll and Katie says they are $100.00." Oh dear. They are so cute together I guess I can't hold it against her. The Malones recently got a trampoline and they spent a lot of time on that together. Wyatt especially loved it.


Then it was back to my sister's on the way home. I never realized how much work vacations were for my parents, now I know. But it's all worth it for the kids. They made so many memories and were so excited to see everyone. I think they had fun. (:

Thanks for the good times Sistas!
