Michigan Staycation

This year we took our family vacation in April to Hawaii, so we didn't plan any big family vacations for this summer.  We did, however, spend a week in Michigan with Grandma & Grandpa Kusch. Dave had to work, but he did come for the weekends to drop us off and pick us up.  The kids spent every morning at VBS at Saint Paul's.  We spent the afternoons either swimming in the pool or taking little day trips.  Here's our week through pictures…

Blueberry & Raspberry Picking at Spicers Orchard

The kids did a great job picking berries. Lilly ate almost every one she picked.

Livonia Parks

The kids had fun at the parks in Livonia.  We got ice cream after playing on one of the hot days.

Lilly sat still long enough for me to paint her fingernails and toenails (a first).

Hands On Museum in Ann Arbor

The kids wore Grandpa out.

Cousins!

Our Drive Home

Every time the sunset changed slightly Liam would ask to take a picture with my phone.  Here are some of them.  What a great end to a great week.

We had such a great week in Michigan, but were very happy to see Dave again.  We all missed him terribly.  The kids had a lot to tell Dad about their week.
