Adler and Austen Take a Vacation

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Adler and Austen went on vacation and I took a vacation from the blog. We all headed up to our favorite Michigan beach town - Union Pier - for nine days. And, despite the iffy weather, we had a good time with our family and our friends.

Adler didn't fall in the pool this year. In fact, she barely got all four paws wet but she enjoyed running around the pool and morning walks on the beach.

Austen loved the water - especially the pool. He liked to sit on the steps of the pool and splash himself - not even minding if a little water got in his face or up his nose or in his mouth. He took it all in stride. He enjoyed playing with his sand toys on the beach and got startled when the water from the crashing waves (yes, there are waves in Michigan albeit not as big as those east coast ones that I used to ride on my boogie board when I was a kid) rushed up to the sand where he was sitting. He's turned into a regular little beach bum and his farmer's tan despite his SPF 50 sunblock sure shows it. He's definitely our kid.

Stay tuned for some stories from our vacation in future posts.
