HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Another fun-filled day!! We hit the park this morning after a wonderful breakfast. With the weather being a little on the cooler side, we decided to not make any big plans for the morning. There was this cute little park downtown that we went to, the kids didn't last real long...no one is sleeping enough...so we walked around and found some ice cream! Huge hit!!

After the park, we headed home for some naps and "mommy time!" Kelly and I left the sleeping kiddos in Scott and Chads hands and went laid out by the pool! It was heaven, for an hour until little people started waking up. We swam for a bit, made dinner and got ready to head back downtown for the fourth of July festivites!

Don't they look adorable in teh red, white and blue!!

Headed back to the condo for fireworks!! I hate to admit it, but these may have been the BEST fireworks I have seen! The kids all had their moments of being scared...but over all, it was great!!

Saugatuck, MI

We left Thursday afternoon for Michigan with the Antcliffs. Kelly, I and all the kids rode in our van, while Chad drove their truck with Scott. The kids watched a movie then took a much needed nap!
It took us a little over 4 hours because of traffic, but the kids did great! We were pleasently suprised by the condo! We only booked it 2 weeks in advance and it was AWESOME!! @ bedroom, 2 full bath, large open floor plan, granite counter tops and decorated to a tee! We sent the guys out for pizza, enjoyed our view of the harbor and headed to bed!

Sleeping children! Pure BLISS!

We hi the beach first thing in the AM. The kids were SO excited! The only problem...it was about 65 degrees! The water was a frigid 62! Everyone played in the...oh, wait...Claudia and the daddies played in the sand! Ella and Cole were not as fond!

Cole was much happier sitting on the blanket!

Gotta dig a BIG HOLE!

After the beach, we headed to the harbor to pick-up our rent-a-pontoon for a boat ride and picnic lunch! I think this may have been the girls favorite thing!
