Lake Michigan

Ava and I spend June 10th through the 17th at Lake Michigan with my family (Brent had to work...very sad!). My parents both grew up in Michigan so much of our extended family still lives there. I had not been to Michigan in about 5 years. It was so great to be there again, we use to go every summer as kids. My Uncle Craig and Aunt Sue have a lake house right on Lake Michigan that they let us use for the week. It was perfect. There was a ton of room for everyone, a huge yard to play in and the beach was just down the stairs. The kids had a blast! Unfortunately, Ava got her first cold while we there and it was a bad one. Poor little baby. Thankfully my sister Jill was there so she helped me figure out what medication to give her and how to make her more comfortable. Ava was feeling much better by the time we got back on the plane. So despite the few days of sickness, it was a great trip!

There were two kayaks and Cole and Gramps had the best time. They made all us try by the end of the week. Very fun.

Even Ava had some Kayak fun.

Aunt Care taking Josh surfing.

Cole and Ally were so sweet to Ava. They would come up and talk to her and hug and kiss her. She loved watching the big kids play.

Bath time in the sink with cousin Josh.

Sick baby....notice the snot nose. She was so sad.

Of course we had to attempt a cousin picture. At least they are all looking the same direction.

Sweet Prengler kiddos. They had the best time at the beach.

Pretty beach baby.
