Blueberry Picking

Ava and I went blueberry picking on Friday with Grandma Slotman, Marcy, and Reese.  The girls had fun running up and down the rows, and Ava especially couldn't keep her hands out of the buckets!  She loved the blueberries!

Silver Lake ~ 4th of July!

Our 4th of July weekend was spent up North at Silver Lake.  This was our first time in the dunes for the year, and we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather. We stayed with Cory and Ellen and had a great time visiting baby Jack! After Mike and my brother's hard work, we also were able to take the race Jeep back in the dunes -- it's been out of commission for 3 years due to other priorities and lack of time to fix.  

Though Ava and I preferred to tour around in the Rubicon, I did let Mike take me for a spin through the hills -- too fast for me! Even though Lake Michigan was a little chilly, Ava loved playing in the sand and digging holes with Dad by the beach! Eric, Marcy, and Reese also came up on Friday night in time to watch the fireworks in the dunes with everyone -- it was a late night for the kids, but they fell asleep quickly on the ride back. It was a great weekend, and we're looking forward to going back soon!
