Michigan Favorites

One night Rachel, Mike, and Chris experimented with sparklers and camera settings and got these awesome pictures...

 
 
 


I just love this shot Rachel got of Chris and Addie....


Another one of Rachel's pictures, Addie was having a great time watering Uncle Mike's feet.


And a sweet one of Uncle Mike and his newest niece...

 We had a bonfire by the lake a couple of nights. Summer nights outside, stars bright overhead, and a crackling fire - it really was pretty amazing.
Nice fire shot, Rachel!
 Elizabeth showed off her sweet smile lots during the week. Here she is with Aunt Rachel...


Emily and Addison had a great time practically living in their swimsuits. Here they are playing in the sprinkler with PopPop.


Addie got pretty attached to this teddy bear and he came most places with her through the week.


Emily and Addison put their handprints in a garden stone, along with Elizabeth's footprint. Happy Birthday CeeCee!
 



Addie was SUPER brave and went tubing with Dad! Go Addie!


Cuteness. Is it possible to see this face and not smile?


Here's who the girls were so excited to find...


Real life garden fairies...


Corn on the cob. It was a first, and it was a blast!
 


A few more Elizabeth snuggles...
Hi PopPop!


Daddy Love

Uncle Eric and Aunt Cathy got some baby holding practice in...good thing since they'll be parents themselves in January!

Elizabeth did get a dip in the lake before we left to come back to Colorado.

What a great vacation!
