Pure Michigan

We were able to take a short trip up to West Michigan and spend time with my family.  It was really great because my brother's family was there too so we all enjoyed time together.  I love Michigan in the summer and it makes me miss it.
We took Madison to the beach.  She didn't like the sand at first but once Christopher showed her how fun it can be she started to have fun.  Aaron, Todd, Christopher and Madison all went in Lake Michigan.  It was freezing - 58!  Shawna and I were smart and stayed on the beach.  I had to drag my shivering child out to warm up.
Madison was able to experience boating and tubing for the first time.  She loved it!  She must be my daughter.
Christopher went fishing and caught a few really big fish.  He was so excited.
The trip went way too fast, but we had a wonderful time and look forward to next summer.
