Michigan

Okay so here I am making excuses again for why I haven't blogged in forever. Well we went on a 20 hour road trip to Michigan at the end of August to see Ben's family, my Dad and Stepmom and some friends. We really had a great time hanging out with everyone!

Due to the time lapse since the trip and the blog post my brain is struggling with all the details so here are a few highlights.
  • It was great fun watching all the cousins run and play in the yard and watch all the brothers try to figure out how to get the arobie (fancy frisbee) off the roof.
  • We got to let the girls fish a little off Grandpa's boat before it rained on us.
  • We went to Holt to see Stuart and Kathleen Goodrich and were joined for breakfast by their son David. Then we hit up a farmer's market, got ice cream, and happened across a parade! Turns out Stuart and Kathleen are celebrities! Small towns are so fun!
  • Ben got to spend some father-daughter time with Nora and the rest of the gang on the river.
  • Went to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes and broke Ben's truck. Then had to stay in MI five days longer than expected. Oops!
  • Decided to make lemonade and headed for Mackinac Island (one of my all time favorite places).

Thank you Justin and Laurie for opening your home to such a crazy and fun filled weekend!

Here are some pictures of our travels.
