OUR TIME IN MICHIGAN
We had a great time this year in Michigan....the only downfall was that we had to leave so early. One more day would have been nice, but with the new baby on the way, I couldn't afford to take too much time off from work. Jason and I both felt it was a shame though, cuz Cale was having a BLAST! Everything was so new and exciting to him, plus he got to eat all the sweets and drink all the juice that he wanted....we were on vacation after all! The first day up there was, in my book, FREEZING!!!! The next two days warmed up to probably mid 70s and sunny, so that was a nice treat. But it never got nice enough to pull out the tank tops or shorts--at least they had an indoor pool that Cale was able to take advantage of one night with his Daddy and Grandpa!
Here's Cale next to the "digger" we ran across while going on one of our many walks. It didn't hold his attention for as long as Jason and I would have guessed, seeing as all he talks about and plays with these days is trucks. My theory ----it's no fun if you can't touch or climb on it and since it was old, dirty, and rusty, Jason told Cale it was off limits! (Does that really surprise any of you???? )
Me and my hubby--we rarely get pictures together anymore!

Cale's very first boat ride in Chief's boat! He loved his life jacket, but it took him a few minutes to like the boat ride. Once we got going though, he kept saying "faster!"



Looking for the fishies...sadly, there were none....anywhere.....seriously



Still lookin' for the fish.....still nowhere to be found


Uncle Garry's (AKA "Mista Mista") boat got top prize for having a Captain's seat.



Second boat ride, in Mista Mista's boat....much more relaxed this time around.


Grandpa and Cale taking advantage of the pool--Cale didn't last too long in his little airplane, but as soon as Jason offered it to another little boy in the pool for a bit, it suddenly got a WHOLE lot cooler! Funny how that is, huh?


Relaxing after a long, hard day's work of eating, drinking, and playing!!!



We found the world's biggest sandbox next to the cabin....and Cale loved it. We brought all his sand toys from home and he was just in heaven, making sand castle after sand castle, filling and dumping sand from his dump truck and making "poop" from sand and water! He certainly is a BOY!



Cale and Mommy's masterpiece....


...including a moat.....



Me and my lovebug being silly!!!!!!!!!!


Wherever we go, Cale will find an anthill....This has got to be the mother load of anthills

Last, but certainly not least, picking rocks and wading in the water at the boat launch
