Here we are in Baldwin for a week with the Peulers! Loved it! Even though it was rainy and cold for 4 of the 7 days...it was still great to be with family!
Sitting on the dock with dad!
Now this is only our 2nd time renting a cottage as a family... we are now 2 for 2 with some things. I guess when we rent a cottage for a week it needs to include a visit from the sheriff and a snake! No tickets this time...but you had to document the adventure!!!
snake - outside the cottage this time! If you never heard the story of the snake at the last cottage just ask...we found that one in the stove!
cottage life!
a night with the slip n slide...I think it took more time to set it up and get hoses to it than the kids actually played on it! Oh well!

two men & a truck!


Now this was funny...it reminded me (Kelly) of my youth...I had told Madi once about a time my dad fell asleep and we painted his toe nails while he slept...she of course thought this would be fun! She saw Papa asleep ( not really but he was a good sport!) on the couch and found some nail polish to do his toes....it was so not on his nails! Like he wouldn't feel her grabbing his foot like that!

they thought they were so sneaky!



the dingy....Chad & Kevin have a good story about that!
fishing off the dock

windy, cold boat ride! but they didn't seem to care

So when you have 4 days of cold and rain you need to get out...so what do we do...drive 45 mins for a McDonald's playland! Yikes! The kids didn't care! The closest city was Ludington so 2 days in a row we headed there for a playland, children's museum, and AJ's fun park!
Madi & Mason up high!
after bowling!

the museum

then of course you have to go for ice cream on vacation!
So silly!


Overall it was great! The kids had so much fun with their cousins and family! Great memories I hope they never forget!
