Micah's first trip to the zoo!

So this weekend we were actually planning on going to Brohman to the cabin, but the weather forecast looked unsure-scattered t-storms and hot weather. We decided to hang out at home, have a stay-cation, but do some local things. Last minute we decided to go to South Bend to the Potawatami Zoo with Aunt Jess and Uncle Myke!

YEs, those are all fish!

When we got home from the zoo, Matt went outside to discuss the shed with Opa. I just thought they were too cute!

Manistee Family Vacation-part 1

July 2-9th we went with my family (Mom and Dad, Jess and Myke, Jenn, Josh, and Gabe) to a rental house on Lake Michigan in Manistee. We had a blast! These are only a few of the pics we took!

Packing to leave
Sunday there was a festival going on in downtown Manistee. They had a petting zoo, carnival rides, and a flea market. Micah got up close and personal with the goats!

That was a huge goat!

We went on a little train ride-that ended up to be too much for the adults! The crazy man driving was doing figure 8s and going sooo fast....he obviously didn't know his audience! The boys looked worried!

Car show at the festival-Micah wanted to show this truck to his Uncle Alex and Aunt Melissa!

Monday-Happy Fourth of July! Fireworks!!!

Chipmunk Cheek

Micah fell into/onto something last night (I didn't see it, don't really know what happened), but we think he fell into the corner of something and bit the inside of his cheek. LAst night it looked ok, a little blood, but then we went to the beach and he was fine. Today however, his left cheek is so swollen! Poor thing. He has been extra needy and clingy. I hope it gets better soon!

The Beach and Fountain

wWent to the beach last night with the youth group and part of Max and Jamie's Sunday school class (the Tunnicliffs and the Downs). Had a blast with Micah in the water while almost everyone else was playing volleyball. I love living in St. Joe!




Went to the fountain the last two nights. No pics from the first night. It was cold and the water was freezing, but Micah had a blast. Was purple afterward and shaking, but had a huge smile on his face! Definately going back more this summer!
