rewind

We have been home from our trip to Michigan for nearly a week and a half...but unfortunately it already feels like we left there months, not weeks ago.  Life in the real world quickly makes you wonder if those wonderful vacation moments really ever existed.  Thankfully some of those moments were captured so they can be revisited for days and years to come.  Here are just a few of my favorites from the cottage: 4th of july 2010.


Drew & Granny anxious to pick
JACKPOT! - the catch phrase for a big bunch of ripe blueberries
Drew ate more than went into his bucket - and this is how some were eaten
Fireworks
goofy! (wonder if the lady in the background is playing along too?)
yummy chocolate-chocolate-chocolate dessert
lovin' the beach!
lovin' Captin Sundae - a strawberry sundae with chocolate ice cream
next year there will be four of us hangin' with CS
an annual tradition - this year 39.5 inches
Drew's right on the board with me, my brother and cousins
one of many jumps into the warm & wavy lake
Bob Evan's parking lot...my two boys in the backseat - one holding the other

Oh my gosh... that last photo made my breath catch! Lovely!

It looks like the whole trip was amazing... but I can't remember any of the other photos now. :-)

That last caption is so sweet!!! Looks like a wonderful vacay - especially the warm and wavy lake! And I love that Leo will be there next year to get measured too!

I love the marks on the wall--what a wonderful tradition!

We measure the kids too! Usually one near their birthdays or sometimes when they ask. My omG moment was when Luke said "Let's check" and when I measured him, I had to stand on my tiptoes to mark it and his mark is ONE INCH under mine!

Great shot of Drew jumping into the lake!

Isn't it awesome to think that Leo will be there with you next year?!!
