What a Week!

Whew, we just had a great week! Brett had the week of the 4th off, so we took full advantage. We left Monday, and headed out to Interlochen, which is a few hours north west of us, near Traverse City. We were lucky enough (thanks to some generous classmates) to stay at this great cabin right on the lake for 4 days! The drive getting there was a little rough, as we discovered that sweet Madi detests being in her carseat for long periods of time and our directions were a little off, but once we got there it was perfect! We spent Tuesday at the lake, Brett paddled the kids around in a kayak while Madi and I soaked up the sun (completely in the shade of course), and we found a fun little playground too. It rained all day Wednesday, but we didn't let that stop us from doing a little sight-seeing. We drove out to Old Mission Lighthouse on the 45th parrallel, let the kids play in the playland at the mall and had a great dinner at Culver's and yummy homemade ice cream at Moomers. Thursday we braved the highway again to head home just in time to pick up Auntie B at the airport. The rest of the weekend was spent celebrating, Brett even said yesterday that he'd had way too much meat this weekend with all the BBQ's and picnics. We even took a little trip to Hell! I've put together a little scrapbook with pictures from this past week, I hope you enjoy looking at all the fun we had - wish you could have joined us!
