We made our annual trip up to Northern Michigan a couple weeks ago.  For the most part, the weather was beautiful (we had two cloudy days).  The girls are the perfect age/size to have fun being in the water, play more independently outside, relax and enjoy ice cream, roast s'mores, and many other activities this year.  We had plenty of time out on the boat and in the water.  Chris and I even went zip lining one evening by ourselves.  It was, as always, such a nice, relaxing trip. We celebrated Maddie and Lena's birthday a little early with Auntie the night before we left with a "party pie"- named by Lena.
