Day two of vacation.  Exploring the Porcupine Mountains.  There is so much beauty in this state.

Our little miners ready to get to work.  First stop of our vacation fun!

The kids were very excited to cross the lake on the Badger.  I think Spencer is the only child of ours who has ever been on it and when he was, was most likely still in a stroller.

Daddy had been promising to pop the Jiffy Pop for about a week.  Finally the dream was realized!

This birthday boy loves his kitties.

Birthday gift trip to Michigan's Adventure.  I thought this was the roller coaster I went on with him, but the one we rode was about twice as high and three times as long.  Still a wooden one though.   It was the worst ride I have ever been on in my life.  I don't think I will ever be the same.  Two days later and my neck still hurts.

205/365

At the doctor for his nine year old well check.  It has been awhile since he has seen the doctor.  When he had his eye issues it seemed like we were going in every other week or so.

This is what happens to her after she has a filling drilled.  She gnaws on her numb lip until it is a swollen mess.

Sunday morning cleaning turns into a dance party once you add sequins and fringe!

201/365

One check mark off the summer to do list.  Pajama ride for ice cream.

200/365

This boy was born for a place in the spotlight!  He is so good at it.

199/365

Daddy is out of town golfing.  Hailey is at a sleepover.  What better time than to take my two favorite boys to the movies Despicable Me 2.

The best part about going to the dentist is when your turn is over and you get to play with the animals in the lobby.

197/365

This poor girl is dealing with  a bad case of swimmer's ear.  It couldn't be due to the fact that we are in the water almost every day could it?

196/365

I love finding Hailey's little drawings strewn about the house.  This one was in the pollen on the slider.  The light was hitting it just right to be seen.

195/365

Looking fairly intense while readjusting the kayak that fell off the van while driving.  The same scene would repeat about fifteen minutes later.  

194/365

Hailey's first sleepover at a friends' house.  She did great and made it through the night!

193/365

When in the world did we get so old?

192/365

Alien looking boy swimming at the pool.

I can't think of a better place to eat your sandwich.

190/365

A quick trip to the beach before the storm rolls in.

189/365

The bee in Trent's bonnet.  He finally finished his corn hole game.

188/365

Hailey showing off the Smart Little Mouse book after a night filled with snapping mouse traps.  UGH!

187/365

Playing in the tubes on School Section Lake.

186/365

Spencer in the "golden light" on North Lake in Baldwin.

185/365

Hailey and Allie hanging out in Muskegon Lake waiting for fireworks to start.

184/365

Hailey at swimming lesson watch day.  She has progressed so much in the last few weeks.  This may have been our last watch day at Mr. Steve's pool.

183/365

The boys working at Grampa Paul's.  They sure look like they are dressed for July 2nd huh?
