4th of July Weekend

We're all so happy that it's summer time. And needless to say, we've been 'occupied' with work, house upgrades, chauffeuring Anna, wedding planning, etc. I've been thrilled to have sunlight filled evenings with Z, A & Sasa and we're all healthy and happy.

We went up to the Sleeping Bear Dunes area in northern Michigan to enjoy a long holiday weekend and enjoy it we did. Here's the picture version of the trip:


Our first night up north hanging out on Lake Michigan's shore at dusk.


The top of Pyramid Point. They relax while I killed myself running around the dunes!


Z & A hiking down from Pyramid Point.


Came across this 'hooping for fitness' stand while walking around Traverse City.

We have some pictures from the day of July 4th, which I may be missing here. In the morning, we went to Pyramid Point, then we went to TC for brunch at a lovely bistro and the rounded out the afternoon at the fair where Anna got to go on the merry go round and other rides BY HERSELF while Z, Sasa and I looked on. We napped in the afternoon at the beach and then stayed up to watch the fireworks.

Oh, and we camped in the evening!! Phew.


Hanging out at Cherry Republic.


Family shot :) Too bad Sasa is gnawing Z's arm off!


On the beach!
