We just got back from a wonderful, relaxing vacation to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Jim's parents rented a cottage on a lake in Munising and it was the perfect place to sit back and relieve ourselves of the business in Kalamazoo. We were able to go on lots of hikes to see waterfalls, play in the lake, go four wheeling, charter fishing (see posts below), a shipwreck tour, ate lots of good food, and even visit our old stomping grounds of Marquette! The boys did great and Ethan loved going on "cation"(vacation) as he called it. He played with grandma and grandpa going on boat rides, making cookies, going four wheeling, and whatever else Ethan asked them to do! Most of the time he just ran around finding rocks and throwing them in the lake, he thought that that was the coolest thing ever, along with peeing in the lake! Caleb did well too, the first couple days he was fussy and come to find out, he had sprouted three teeth! He did a lot better towards the middle and end of the week. Grandma watched the boys one day so that I could go fishing in Lake Superior, which I was very thankful for, it was a ton of fun! It was great to get back up there, I had not been up there since we moved to Kalamazoo. Thanks grandma and grandpa for a great vacation!
