Every year, we go to this great place in Michigan with our dear friends. We always look forward to it, and enjoy it so much. We rent a van and pile in 4 adults, 3 kids, and all our gear. We drive all night (so the kids can sleep), and stay one week at a "resort" (more like a campground) right on the water. Here is a picture story of our trip:
We enjoyed boating, water skiing, and playing in the sand:

One day, we all piled into our 15 passenger van and went to Canada. The Bushplane Museum was a highlight for me, especially since I didn't think I was going to like it. Quinn had a blast!

Sometimes it's the simple things that bring enjoyment:
We also took our annual trip to The Antlers, where they have fun loud sirens and bells.
We saw rainbows and amazing sunsets:
