The babysitter wasn't available for a week in August, so we decided it was a great time to take a vacation. We visited the Amanda's parents in MN and then on to MI to visit Seth's family. The beaches on Lake Michigan have captured all of our hearts! Merryn had no fear of the water...as in she did not want to hold our hands, plunked her face in the water over and over, and ran laughing into the waves. Needless to say, we both have a few more gray hairs!
First stop, Como Zoo. The butterfly conservatory was fabulous!

Next stop, beach on the lake near Paul and Melody's house.

The Minnesota Zoo was great, but the farm really was the hit for Merryn!



Here we come MI! Roadtripping...

Learning to play tea with Granny Sal. She is a pro now!

Need we post any more photos? This is the epitome of summer vacation. Sitting in the water on a hot day while eating ice cream.

Playing on the pier at sunset.

Seth took a quick flight with Uncle Kim. Merryn now picks out every airplane in the sky and uses the sign. Ha ha!

BBQing and playing good music.

The shirt says it all!

She adores shoes! A girl after my own heart.

Beach bums on Lake Michigan.

Our gracious hosts in Michigan. Thanks Granny Sal and Grandpa Jer!

Cousins Aldan and Atlee also joined us for good times in MI. Alas, we don't have lots of pictures of them. So you will have to visit their blog!
