Michigan

Eric and I have been going to Michigan with some dear friends of ours every summer since we were dating.  They so graciously invite us to stay at their parent's summer home on Paw Paw Lake, and we look forward to going every year.  Some summers (like this one), we didn't actually have a vacation, so it's kind of like a mini-vacation for us.  We typically spend time hanging out, swimming in the lake, blueberry picking, and going for boat rides.  This year, we didn't go blueberry picking, but we did buy some from the place where we typically go.  This is also the first year where Judah actually went in the water, which was fun to see.  Eric enjoyed taking him in the water and splashing around, while I enjoyed taking pictures (imagine that).  Eden, of course, didn't do a whole lot, but I think she had a good time.

We stopped for ice cream on the way, and, yes, we let Judah eat it in the car.  Good thing we brought a bib!

Judah just loved hanging out with his buddy, Nolan.  Judah would follow him around and ask for him when he wasn't in the room.  It was so cute to see them "hang out".

 Here is a picture of them doing the same thing in 2009...so cute.

 Weeeeeee...

 He loved floating around in this

 This little guy was flying around us, and I managed to get a picture...look at the curly tongue (or whatever it is called).

  I love this little girl!
