North Beach Day - near Grand Haven, MI

What's a trip to the Lake without a trip to the beach?  We started Day 2 at the North Beach.

Hannah couldn't believe how clear the water is.  

We had a little fun with our names,

And Lucy enjoyed becoming one with the beach.

 Striking a pose!

 Girl fun.

 Lunch time!

 Building with Mickey!

More posing!

...and still more!

Goodbye Lake, MI

It's been a great day!

St. Joe Fun

 First stop - the carousel!

 We were really bummed the splash pad was under construction, so we headed to the carousel to have some family fun.

 Then we waited - a LONG time - for Silver Beach pizza.  But it's the best!  

 Luckily they had some things to entertain us outside.

 We pretended the splash pad had water..and looked at the drains.

 Next stop - downtown St. Joe to take in the artsy lighthouses and some shopping.

The girls loved the detail on this Rapunzel tower.

 The toy store was a hit, of course!

Hannah shows off her new hat. 

We had a great time at St. Joe even without the Splash Pad.  It's such a fun town and it was fun to spend some time poking around.  I think Hannah enjoyed her first day too!

Day one in Michigan - 1st stop - Putt, Putt!

 Good morning sunshine!  Did you sleep well?

 Someone else appears to be still sleeping...

 Time to climb in with Hannah!

 Here we go!  We stopped to play Putt Putt -our first as a family!  

 Daddy gives Lucy some pointers.

 She perfects her form.

 Now it's time for Caroline's lesson.

 Hannah didn't need any lesson - she was outscoring all of us.

Love this 18th hole...you had to go down the steps to see where your ball landed.  We conveniently chose a golf course with ice cream.  We had a treat and then we headed to St. Joe for the day.

Lake Michigan, my how we've missed you!

 We arrived in Holland in time to find our favorite Little Red Lighthouse and see the sun set!

 This year we brought Hannah along for the ride!

The girls had so much fun kicking in the sand that they wouldn't sit still for pictures.

Lots more to come!  It was a great trip with perfect weather.
