Michigan

the girls and i were lucky enough to spend the day in Michigan on one of my days off last week. some old friends were visiting my parents, and it was SO fun to see them, and their boys who i hadn't seen since they were my girls age!!! we spent all afternoon on the beach, and though it looked like it was going to storm, it ended up being a perfect beach day!

the girls played and played and played some more in the sand. my mom took both of them in the water for a while, which they loved every minute of. SO much fun, and so fun for me to watch them doing things that i remember doing when i was little...on the same beach.

the girls LOVED playing with the big boys, and had so much fun ruining their sand castles!
needless to say, after a few hours on the beach we were all COVERED in sand.
in the hair.
everywhere else.
a PERFECT summer day...
always wonderful to see my parents
so good to see friends and pick up where we left off
fun with the girls in the sand
sunshine
so much to be thankful for.
