Visiting Michigan - Camping and Birthday

A few days after Makayla's birthday, I packed the girls up and we took a two week trip to Michigan to visit my parents!  The drive is about 450 miles, so it's always an adventure with 2 kids!  The girls did great in the car both ways!  It took us about 10-11 hours each way and we made 2-3 stops each time.

This trip also gave Chad some time to relax...well, maybe not!  Other than working his regular job, he spent most of the time working on his never-ending to-do list!

The first few days in Michigan we stayed in a cabin at a large camp ground!  There was a beach, 3 pools, playground equipment, mini golf, trails, and paddle boats, and a bunch of other stuff, so the kids had a blast every day!  Here are the girls swimming with Grandma!



Here are the girls having popsicles!  I love these photos!

Here we are on the paddle boat!


Paddling off into the sunset!  (My Dad enhanced this photo...pretty cool)
We paddled right up to the fountain!  Makayla enjoyed getting wet, but Lydia wasn't too happy!


Here's Makayla celebrating her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa.  She had a pink princess cake which she loved!
