Weekend in Michigan: Part 1

This past weekend we went up to Michigan to spend time with my sister and her family and to celebrate my nephews birthday. We arrived on Friday night and got to spend the evening chatting with my sister and her husband Stephen. There weren't any plans for Saturday so we decided to see how things would pan out.

On Saturday morning we headed down to the lake that they live by so we could see it and give the kids a chance to play in the water for a little bit.

 Back at the house Stephen gave Dan and me a chance to drive his new tractor. I had never done it before and was excited to get a chance to drive it.

While we waited for lunch Dan had some time to play with the kids.

We then went to Anderson and Girls Orchard. We have been here a couple other times and had a lot of fun at their free zoo, eating fresh strawberries, and eating their amazing homemade doughnuts.

After returning home we had some dinner before going on a Pontoon boat ride on Crystal Lake. It was really calm and we were really surprised that more people weren't out on the lake.

We finished the day by doing sparklers with the kids before eating fresh strawberry shortcake...a great way to end the day :)
