Road trip ready. . .

Karl's sister-in-law Lesley made the 10 hour trek to Michigan with me and the girls. It went much better than I anticipated. Thanks, Lesley!

Lunch stop - at the McDonalds tollway overpass. There is no such thing as a "quick stop" with a 4 year old and 2 year old to feed and take potty and 2 babies to bottle and diaper. Oh yeah, Lesley and I needed to eat too.

We made it to Michigan and we're still smiling!

We spent one of our days with my dear friend Shanda. She took us to Deanna's Playhouse which was lots of fun.


Snack time with Garrison, Noel, and Simon.

Annika and Lauren were all about dressing up like princesses and dancing with Mrs. Shanda on the dance floor.

Naptime video at Mrs. Shanda's.

First beach visit for Audrey and Samantha.

The babies make great weights to keep the blanket from blowing. Good thing we have two!

Lauren went underwater unexpectedly and needed some comforting from Grandpa.

Uncle Jay, pick on someone your own size!

We went on a picnic with Mrs. Sue, Liesl, and Annemarie.


Grandpa was up to the challenge of taking Annika and Lauren fishing for the first time. Let's just say it was a learning experience.

Grandpa is taking out the worms. . .and, yes, that is Annika running down the dock in the opposite direction.

Grandpa and Lauren (between the slats) are fishing.

Can you tell that Annika is having SO much fun? It may be a while before we try this again.

Hanging out with cousin Emma at Meijer Gardens.

Using yummy Michigan blueberries to make pancakes with Grandma. Good thing she had all that help.

Brianna and Samantha - the toe suckers.

Fun at the water park with Uncle Jay.

Grandpa pushing one of the babies. . .again. At least this time he is enjoying a Margarita?!

Hanging out in Uncle Jay and Aunt Elizabeth's backyard.

I love the bottles if Similac on the McDonald's lunch table. And that picture of your dad cracks me up - I think it is the look on his face - he understands your struggles.
