Summer Break - Week 3, Saturday & Sunday (some Monday, too!)

Dearest Boys,

Saturday morning was the morning y'all had been waiting for since before we even landed in Michigan!  You two both wanted to go fishing so badly and the men-folk were happy to oblige you.  


Colt, your catch was pretty cute - but not a keeper.








We ate a quick lunch after your fishing trip and then it was straight back into the water.  
I am NOT a lake person.  Do you know this about me?  Really, I'm not into deep water at all.  And lakes are the worst with their mucky water and creepy plant growth.  Buuuuuut, Elk Lake is so different and it has spoiled me for life as far as lakes are concerned.  Elk Lake has beautiful water, a sandy bottom, and it is shallow far beyond what is normal.  Of course, that doesn't come across very well with my pictures - but I tried:

 
 






 Y'all relaxed before dinner and shared together impressively well.



Later, us adults fit in another sunset from the dock.

 

Sunday was bleh because it was rainy and 4/10 of us had to return home.  Aunt Jess read to you one more time before they loaded up (and Uncle Mike used Hailey's umbrella outside!).


After the rained cleared and the family left, the rest of us drove into Charlevoix.  We admired the marina and the many gorgeous boats.



 
 
Watching the draw bridge was probably your favorite thing to watch
The day was made complete with a stop for ice cream!

 

Monday was spent putting away the jet ski, packing, and cleaning up the house.
You two goofballs loved riding the jet ski into the garage.


You were thrilled to help Daddy on the Cub Cadet



Then we said our goodbyes before heading to the airport.




Between the relaxation, the fun, and the reconnecting with family - this week away was just what we needed.  Until next time...
