Trip to Tahoe

The girls and I headed to Tahoe for a long weekend with Lala and Papa. We missed Corey, Ashley, Paul, Liam and Lily but we had a nice time enjoying a (relatively) quiet cabin together. While the cabin wasn't as cozy and crowded as usual, the beaches sure were! All that melted snow from our crazy winter filled the lake to its absolute fullest and shrunk the beaches to almost nothing. 

We started the trip with a visit in Reno with cousins

 and this lovely lady!

 And then we headed up to the Lake where we hit all our usual spots: North Tahoe Beach (no Speedboat Beach this year!), Jason's, The Robin's Nest, Log Cabin Ice Cream and Kings Beach Mini Golf (it was celebrating 60 years this year...I think we've played it for the last 40!). Such a fun, beautiful place!

Trip to Michigan

We had a great visit to Michigan this month. We did the usual: relaxed, kayaked and drank a lot of coffee (Kim), took a long bike ride to Lake Michigan, fished and won a lot of corn hole games  (Corey), swung in the tree swing and ran around the farm like free range chickens (Natalie and Audrey), and picked blueberries and ate our birth weights in yummy sweet treats (all four of us).

 Natalie has become an expert paddleboarder.

 Beautiful Lake Michigan

The highlight of the trip was a sunset sail on Lake Michigan to celebrate Nana and Papa's 50th wedding anniversary. What a perfect night on the lake it was.

 We got to go under a draw bridge

 and past this famous pier.

 Just as the sun set, Corey, Amber, Kristen,

Barron and the girls decided to jump in!

 I chose not to.
