Grand Haven, MI

Lake Michigan summers are the best! We spent a week at my parent’s condo in Grand Haven with most of our time spent at the beach. When we weren’t playing in the water, we were eating ice cream, walking the pier, or drinking local beer.

Taking an evening swim.

We did venture north one day to Lewis Farms. This was a perfect place for kids our age. They had animals, games, slides, a splashpad, and apple cannons; yes, we shot apples at targets out of a cannon and it…was…awesome! Although we didn’t get a chance to see my brother’s family, we did get to see my Aunt and cousins! It was so nice to catch up with them.

Here we come West Michigan!

Madsens kindly took us for a boat ride.

Aunt Lily, Nick, and Rebecca joined us for an evening.

We are always grateful for the hospitality my parents provide. We show up with some clothes and they do the rest; a car, car seats, food, towels, step stools, etc; all of the little things that make traveling with kids so much easier. And we will be back again next summer!
