Over Labor Day weekend, we headed up to Indian River to Jonathan's parents' place. As always, we had a great time! Monday, Jonathan and I were able to go walk the Mackinaw Bridge for the annual bridge walk. Grandma watched the kids so we could make a date of it and just enjoy the day in Mackinaw! :) As you can see below, we had a gorgeous view! Looking up! And looking down! Yikes! We did it! The bridge itself is five miles long but by the time you add in all the walking you do to get to and from your car, we probably walked closer to eight miles! lol The rest of the weekend was spent in the hot tub... eating ice cream... enjoying Mickey Mouse pancakes made by Grandma... and just having a good time!!
We've been keeping busy around here! I can't believe summer is coming to an end. :( But then again, I absolutely love fall and the changing weather. I'm so thankful God gave us seasons!! Luke got to go for his first go-cart ride with daddy! He loved it!! What's summer without corn-on-the-cob and watermelon?? Aunt Emily came to visit for a week and spoiled the kids rotten! :) Mommy does not let them ride in the dollar cart when we go to the grocery...only when Auntie Em pays! I will, however, pay for the penny pony! :) Addie was teething, so we heard a lot of screaming... Chocolate cake, I mean muffins, for breakfast! Emily got Addie this adorable "Little Sister" shirt so she could match her brother in his shirt. These two are so stinkin' cute!!!!!
We have had such a gorgeous summer with nice hot weather! Even though I will always be an Indiana girl at heart, I have to say I love living in Michigan! We are about 35 minutes from the beach and there are so many pretty areas. We made lots of trips to the beach. Here are some pictures of our fun times! :)
