Summer is Flying By!

The days are flying by and it is almost August! The summer has been a lot of fun so far with a lot of company and good times.Laura and Sean spent the week with us (and Kara and Nolan too!). We had a lot of sunny weather and hardly any rain. The kids got to go to the beach and catch frogs and play in Otter Creek, Shalda Creek and Lake Michigan. We went for a couple of boat rides on Big Glen Lake and we took the kids in to Glen Arbor for ice cream cones and to the playground.
On Saturday Sean and I took the kids over to Suttons Bay for the classic boat show. We got there just as it started to rain, and it lasted long enough for the playground to get wet. There were only a handful of old boats at the show, and mainly small ones. We did get a tour through a schooner used for science trips with the Inland Seas Education program. That was very interesting. They take kids out on the great lakes to study the ecology and health of the lakes.
Anyone who hasn't been up to see us this summer should call and make plans to see us before the weather starts turning.
Here are some pictures from the week....
