almost done!

are you sad?

don't worry...i have some posts non-michigan related for this week too.

ok, thursday!

normal morning routine.

decided the beach was a good choice for the afternoon.

i haven't mentioned the weather much...but let me just say it was perfect!

warm but no too warm.

sunny. blue skies. awesome.

so the beach.

brandon, parker and i headed out...oh let me mention it took us almost 2 hours to get ready and walk out the door!

mary was going to met us there (taking a break from vacation bible school fun)

 ah yes...this is the life

 sand!

 dad! my shorts are too big!!

 this is awesome!

 shade for p, sun for grandma

 brandon kayaked

 parker loved being tossed into the water

 let me get my hat!

 

 worn out

 mom, dad, i need a nap!

 once parker napped and we got cleaned up.

garth, brandon, parker and i headed down to saugatuck for dinner.

we ate at Phils...so good!

the three boys :)

after dinner, garth and mary hung out with p so we could go out for a bit!

three dates in 10 days! monkies! we were spoiled!

we went to downtown holland to a new spot...our brew

such a neat place...and good!

also we may or may not have stopped for ice cream at kilwins

there's no picture so i don't think it happened ;)

friday was pretty low key.

parker woke up with a bad cold so plans were cancelled so we wouldnt get people sick.

we headed over to jenny's for one last chance to play with cousins.

molly and macen are too cute and too funny.

parker loved hanging out with them!

just like we loved hanging out with jenny!

friday evening we went out for one last family dinner at the piper.

yum! 

doesn't p look sooo grown up?

saturday morning, after a rough night with the sickie, garth and mary took parker for a long car ride so we could nap. parker napped in the car and we napped in bed.

brandon then started to make an awesome lunch.

chicken and asparagus! tasty!

we packed and relaxed.

then it was time to head to the airport.

we were sad to leave but thrilled that it wouldn't be too long before we were back.

 we had a long trip home but parker, even though he was sick, is quite the charmer in the airport.

smiling and chatting with anyone who happened to walk by.

we arrived home around 12...went to bed.

so good to be home!
