South Haven

Warning: This is going to be a VERY LONG blog.

(Daddy is in Hong Kong and so we are posting lots of pics for him)

This past week with Phil gone the boys and I headed to Decatur to join the Thompsons & Fernandes on a trip to Michigan!

Pre-vacation wrestling....

Luke & Grandma

We arrived in Michigan late Sunday afternoon and went to check out the beach.....

I wonder if Pada was realizing that he willingly came on vacation with 6 kids ages 9 and under...

"What was I thinking!?!?!?"

A few of the crew off to hunt for dead fish....

Sam & Lucy.....

Thanks Lucy for taking such good care of me all week!!!

Sam, taking in the beauty of the ocean

Later that evening walking through downtown South Haven I may have gotten a bit excited with the fall clothes

The next day we went to the beach in one piece and came home looking like this.....thanks to a bee sting in the face

but it was fun anyway....

"Just a day at the beach! Bee? what bee?"

Sam, pre sting, thought the waves were there specifically to play chase with him...

Yummy Pancakes Uncle Eustace!!!!

Chillin with Lucy

Preparing for bedtime by eating a huge sugar cookie

The next day we went Raspberry picking! It was sooooo much fun!!

Sam was off to a slow start....

with no help from Luke..

But Lucy and Felicity soon took him under their wing
