Honeymoon...8 years later

The opportunity to be spontaneous doesn't often come along when you're married with three young kids. Today, we took advantage of a Sunday with nothing to do and traveled to Lake Michigan for the day. We went to the quaint little town of Saugatuck (where Tom an I went on our honeymoon). We told the kids to pile in the car, "we're going for an adventure!" Mt. Baldhead... LOTS of steps to climb but a beautiful view of Lake Michigan at the top!! The boys did great and made it up by themselves.

I love my Mei Tai for carrying Claire on my back.

This is the river that Saugatuck is built on and runs right into the Lake.

Getting chased by the waves.

Thankfully I came prepared with a change of clothes for all the kids. They just can't NOT get wet!

Claire loved the waves and watching the seagulls.

Reese is not shy. He stripped down and played in the outdoor shower to get the sand off.

Our backpack also works great for carrying Claire. She can see better in this but loves to sleep in the Mei Tai.

We visited the S.S. Keewatin which is over 100 years old and is docked in Saugatuck.

We walked through town and looked at all the huge yachts docked there. Drew was cold so we found a cafe, sat outside and drank hot chocolate.

It was a great day and a fun family trip. The boys kept saying, "This is the best adventure day ever." They crashed in the car on the way home.

As promised - here are some pictures from the Rascal Flatts concert...As you can see we had great seats!
