End of Summer

The end of summer is fast approaching although you wouldn't know it by the latest heat wave we are experiencing.  I'm not complaining, it was perfect for our long weekend at the beach.

My dad decided to rent a beach house in New Buffalo, Mich., for the entire family this past weekend and we had a lot of fun! Bonfires, food, beach, hot tub, sand castle building, ice cream and incredible sunsets - who could ask for a more enjoyable way to wind down the summer?!

Even Adler got to enjoy the vacation despite being afraid of the flies and cowering in the bathroom most of the time. She still had fun though with all of the attention she received.  Here are a few photos from our trip (Above: Papa with his five grandchildren)!

Incredible sunset from our deck. It made you forget about work for awhile and enjoy life in this moment.

Austen roasting a marshmallow for S'mores. Peyton eating one!

Adler enjoying some fresh air when she came out of the bathroom. I think she's looking for more flies here.

Board game playing with the cousins.

The kids loved the "hot pool" as Peyton called it. 

 Having fun with daddy.

Thanks for a great, long weekend Papa!
