Well, Saturday morning we headed to Jay's parent's cabin...we finally arrived at 3 pm. As Lily put it "this is taking us FOR-EVER!" But, when we got there, we decided it was well worth the drive. The cabin is absolutely beautiful - and this is our view from the balcony. Ahhh...so nice.Lily was so happy to see everyone again. She always has such fun with her cousins Morgan and Macey. One of the highlights of the trip for them was definitely riding on the 4 wheeler with Papa.
Lily would tell Papa when he was going too fast for her liking...she kept a close eye on the speedometer! (she is cautious like her momma.)
We also spent a lot of time at the campground where more family and friends were staying. The girls had a blast playing in the sand and in the waves of Lake Michigan.
Lily enjoyed the water, but the waves kept her REAL close to her daddy at all times.
Mr. Tom was teaching the kiddos how to make an acorn whistle. They never quite got it to work, but they sure did have fun trying.
Lily is still coming down from her sugar buzz from the weekend - between the oreos, s'mores, ice-cream, etc. Ah - we're taking a break from sugar around here for a bit.
Lily immediately warmed up to Papa's brother Ken...even told me at one point that she wanted to go live with him instead of me. I reminded her that family is forever - and she can't get rid of me that easily. She eventually decided that this is a GOOD thing. Silly girl.
Lily and her cousins sittin' around playing with money. Life is good...
She already misses everyone - especially her sweet cousins. Last night, before bed, she told me that she really wants a girl baby. I told her that she'd better start praying for one. So, she closed her eyes and said "God, pweese give me a girl baby cuz Morgan has Macey and she's a girl too. Hay-men."
Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend too!

Oh what a fun trip! I love the picture of Lily on the 4wheeler with her Papa. That is too funny that she was watching the speedomter. Mallory would be the same way.
Glad you all were able to get away and have such a fun and relaxing weekend. Have a great week!
What a wonderful weekend - Love the images of her at the beach. I couldn't help but laugh! I remember a little boy her age who used to complain that it would take "FOR-EVER!" to go up state :D But like you said - always worth it!!!
Ladybug hugs,

Ahhhhh....life is good! ;)
Enjoying the great outdoors! Just to let you know all the back to school butterflies are gone and Anna is liking school. I have to admit I am liking being able to zip around on errands and stuff for the couple of hours she is away. I miss her but I can get some things done! I know Lily and you will do great when the time comes. We talked so much about it beforehand. One thing that was helpful, Anna shared she was very nervous. I shared with her that sometimes being excited feels a little like feeling nervous and that most of the children would be feeling the same way. She seemed comforted by knowing they were new at this too. This was helpful as she repeated it several times over the first 2 weeks of school esp. on the way to school. Now she tells me she is excited about school. Oh how she loves coming home with all her activities/crafts/sheets for the day. We sit down and she shows me everything. You will enjoy that part too! I am here for you if you get those butterflies too! Mine are better now! Hard to let them go!
There's nothing better than time with family. And the s'mores make it even BETTER!!
What a wonderful weekend, and what a sweet prayer from Lily, but that's no surprise- she is such a sweet girl!

How much fun you had...despite the long drive :-) Yes life is good!
We just booked a cottage on a lake for our Thanksgiving weekend (a month earlier than you here in Canada). I just can't wait!
Maëlle prays every night for a little brother AND a little sister!
What an absolutely special, wonderful time! Love all the pics... how fun!
I am so happy your family was able to share this time together.
Love you friend
So happy to hear it was a fun weekend.Looks like a great and relaxing view.
Let's just hope she keeps an eye on the speedometer when she starts to drive.(Yes I know a way to go before she drives).Let's not rush it right?
