Pure Michigan!

This post has taken forever, mainly because I have been trying to get my house and self in check before I head back to WORK!! This includes decluttering, going through my clothes to make way for "back to school clothes" and spending a lot of time with C&P...tear. As they get bigger we get more crap...art supplies, dolls, doll accessories, pirate coins, puzzles (with 12-24 pieces, smarty pants!). I have been trying to find places for all this crap! Now on to a Michigan recap!

We shipped off the dog (thanks Nana), packed up the car & headed to St. Joseph, Michigan. The town was darling, the beach was gigantic and there was so much to do! Do you know that it doesn't get dark in Michigan (western side) until 10:00, & there is a time zone change...who knew! We spent our days eating & sunning, & we spent our nights playing Diaper & watching the Olympics. Diaper = A game 2 year-olds play, it involves the throwing of diapers & the winner's diaper lands in the toilet. (C&P were both winners...)

Some of our favorite photos...

Ready!

Tons of cute shops and great restaurants.

Pirates...Cam had a heart attack!

On top of the bluff...beach, fountain, kids museum & old fashion carousel.
Amazing...

The toy store, which had everything! We played for almost an hour...
Saying "Arrr, matey!"

We rode the carousel each day! It went a bit too fast for Mommy's liking...

Vogue.

I took that mouth closed this serious!
Blurry, nooo!

Next year she will rock the wall!

Shredding on the slopes...

A little geography lesson...

Getting a photo of them is really getting to be ridiculous!

He definitely got air...

Having "lemonade," well Cam has real lemonade...

and these two having "chocolate milk!"

Sharing the best, & cheapest ice cream ever!

He must of went running in & out of the water at least 20 times!

Getting some pirate gear, & princess for the princess!

She was scared of Cam's retractable dagger...

Full speed!

Full speed 24/7!

It was warm, it was shallow & it didn't taste like salt...score!

He didn't want to take off his shirt & thought if we took off his floaties, he would have to leave.

Super, nice clean beach!

Loving the fountain (& we liked that it was a great way to get all the sand off)!

Loving it!

They were laughing the entire time!

Playing on the cool playground on the beach...

Playing in the pirate ship...

See you in 2012 St. Joe's!
