Quick trip

We decided to take a last minute trip to Michigan as a family. It was short, but we had such a wonderful time together.

The house that we rented-it had a huge front yard where we played football, volleyball and ran around.

They had so much fun jumping into the hot tub whenever they wanted to.

We found a leaf bug that we watched for quite awhile. I wish I had been taking a video because as soon as I snapped this picture, Hailey started SCREAMING because the bug wouldn't come off. Alyssa also screamed because of it-when she accidentally stepped on it, it started screeching at her and she FREAKED out!

There was even a fire pit in the back yard. We put each of the children in charge of one meal while we were there. Carter had Sunday night and chose to make foil dinners. Unfortunately, he isn't in the picture, but everyone had a great time making them and I heard they were wonderful.

Carter and Andrew choose to sleep out on the patio. It was screened in and had these great day beds, but otherwise they felt like they were camping and even woke up a little wet from the condensation (Andrew hated that).

Hailey and Grant opted to sleep together even though there was another bed. They had fun since they usually sleep in different rooms.

Running up the sand dune.

Up at the top. Each of them earned a ice cream from Chris for making it up the hill.

Playing at the beach. Digging holes is so fun.

The girls.

By the afternoon, Alyssa was done and would lay down on her towel to cry.

Hailey's turn for a meal-she made breakfast.

Playing in the front yard.

Having fun-well except for Alyssa who wanted to get DOWN! Fun family memories.
