MICHIGAN!

we are enjoying our trip..here are a few pics!
we just enjoyed a week of the Bolt Family.....which means (Four Families, Grandpa and Grandma...with a total of 9 granchildren (the majority being 5 and under.)
what a blast we have had..a chaotic week, but so much fun to watch these kids play and explore. Braydon is an absolute nut in the water, where as Brielle prefers to play in the sand.
I will try to post more later in teh month...we have taken so many pics (close to 400)...so, i will spare you the majority.

And we are off....to Michigan!

well...the time has come for our annual trip to Michigan for the 4th holiday....with family, friends, cousins, the beach, and more....we are very excited and about to embark on our 12 hour drive with these two kids! it should be a lot of fun!

i will attempt to post while on vacation...but, if not..you will get lots to look at when the kids and I return in August...(yes, I did say August.....we are going for 4 weeks!)....Brett will be with us for 2 of those weeks, and then.....we will be on our own!

Braydon is so excited to see his cousins, and Brielle....well, she will probably talk everyone's ear off.....

Happy 4th of July!
