Although it goes against my Wisconsin blood, we went on a short vacation in Michigan. Nana, Pop and Issy kindly invited us to a house by Lake Michigan… obviously, the good company won out over my trepidation with a vacation in MI. (Grammar gurus Daniele & Dina… did I use the word trepidation correctly?)
Is Lake MI an ocean?
Natalie also loved the blow up toys and Poor Man’s beach toys! Natalie is very into imaginary play… we added cinnamon, carrots, potatoes and peanut butter and jelly to make a very yummy stone soup.
Here, let me dish you up a ladle of stone soup.
You had me at homemade ice cream….
(Oddly enough, the house we were staying in had an unexpected showing… the potential buyers came in while Jordan and I were on a run, leaving Nana and Natalie in the middle of making ice cream and Nana and Elliott playing. I feel bad they were unexpectedly interrupted – and consider my and Jordan’s timing very timely!)
We did our best to keep Elliott out of the sun but he still managed to come home full of sand.
Ready for the beach!
Elliott continues to be a dream baby… he was good in the car and good about sleeping on the go, even at the beach. Jordan and I often talk about how we hit the baby jackpot. (With both of our kids!)
I am still partial to WI but who can argue with an 1.5 hr drive?!?
