Connor's first trip to the Cottage!

We had a wonderful vacation up at the cottage in Michigan a couple of weeks ago. The weather was glorious, and we had such a wonderful time with Mom and Dad (or Grammy and Grandpa :). It was so relaxing and rejuvenating--it was really hard to come home. We're so blessed to have such a familiar and wonderful place to go to each year--so many memories. I'm so glad that Connor will be able to establish his own!

Lumberman's Monument!

Lumberman's Monument is such a beautiful place to visit. There is a huge dune that meets the gorgeous, clear waters of the Ausable River. Tommy, Connor and I walked down the dune, but getting back up--I didn't think we'd ever make it. Poor Tommy had to carry Connor all the way up....now that's an awesome workout! ;)

The Beach!

We spent a couple days at the beach--it was absolutely beautiful--"Michigan days" to a tee! We walked the beach in the evening, too. There is a little coffee shop down the street from the water, and we love to stop there in the mornings and get a latte before hitting the beach!

Smores....

One night, we built a bon fire down by the lake (one of our favorite things to do). Connor got his first taste of s'mores....I think he was in love!
