Silver Lake 2010

What a privilege to be able to spend some time at my in-law's cottage on Silver Lake! The girls absolutely loved swimming, hiking, and playing with their cousin Ella!





Climbing the sand dunes with Papa & Ella






Sophie picks up trash and pulls a face at the "beer"

The girls made it - the 1.3 mile trek - across the dunes to Lake Michigan! We didn't carry them once! Such troopers :) There was some whining on the way back though.











There were many nice breezy days. On one of them we got out the kites. The girls had a blast! Well... until Sophie let go of the Dora kite and it was forever lost :(




This is Sophie getting her feet cleaned off before coming in the cottage. She said to me "Mom, now I have to get my feet cleaned by the hoser." Ha!

Fourth of July Fun!

Neighbors on the lake had a huge inflatable slide! Evie loved it!!!!!!! Sophie tried it once and Olivia steered clear!








Sparklers at the cottage before Grandpa's fireworks show! Ashley & Will came over to enjoy the festivities too!
