June 2015

Yay for summer vacation; staying up late, sleeping in, and playing outside.  We've had a fun month.  We've been to the zoo several times, to the splash pad, played at the park, picked strawberries, went to a parade, went on vacation, and have enjoyed playing in the yard.

I went into Target for one thing and came out to this!

Pure Michigan Vacation - Frederick Meijer Gardens

On our way home we stopped in Grand Rapids at the Frederick Meijer Gardens and walked around the Children's Garden.  It was good for the kids to stretch their legs before driving the rest of the way home.

Pure Michigan Vacation - Traverse City Area

Even though there was so much to do at Great Wolf Lodge, we ventured out into town.  The girls spent a morning visiting some wineries, the boys went to see a Jurassic World, we took Liam to see Inside Out, we played at the beach, and we shopped.  We also got our fill of white fish and cherry flavored everything.  The kids did surprising well at each restaurant.  They were patient and well-behaved - pretty good for a 5 year old, two 3 year olds, and a 1 year old!
