*Michigan*

My little bro is a unit director at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, Michigan for the next month.  We're talking only 5 hours away from us!  Definitely had to go up and see him. 

Jaden was stoked to see his Uncle Andrew!  Of course he had to sit by him through dinner.

After a night of hangin' at the hotel and card games, we were ready for a full day at the beach!

We LOVED the beach when we visited last year so that was a MUST.

We found a nice shady spot for lunch...

and Jaden found a nice sandy spot to whip out his sand toys.

The boys loved the water.

Jaden was cautious, but warmed up to the waves soon enough.

Not too far down the beach, we discovered this creation.

[put our little sand castle to shame]

Bri and I hung out on the sand most of the day:)

"look mommy, I made sunglasses!"

Bet you can guess which picture was taken on the way there...

and which one was on the way back.
