Visiting Family in Upper Michigan

We took a vacation to Upper Michigan this past week to visit both my (Laura) and Davin's families. We spent every day at different family camps on Lake Superior. It was really windy so we couldn't go out kyaking or on the jet skis, but we still had a ton of fun in the sun with our siblings and nieces and nephews! On our last evening we went to visit my grandparents, who live on Lake Superior. Grandpa had lit the outdoor sauna for us, so we did the traditional "sauna and swim"- get super hot in the sauna, then run as fast as you can into the lake! There were big waves so we spent time surfing them! I took the chance to take pictures of Davin and my brother riding the waves- it made for great laughs! Here's some pictures from the trip- all the kids are nieces and nephews. Oh, and it seems I must always have the camera in my hands, because there are always WAY more pictures of Davin with the kids than me- I'll have to make sure Davin takes some more often! :D

We spent the 4th of July at my (Laura's) brother's with his family, my sister's family, and a few friends. We played bocce ball, the kids played in the sprinkler (so did Davin!), and my brother grilled some amazing food! It was a day of fun, sun and laughter!
