Up North

After Cousin Lauren's wedding we spent the rest of July vacationing! We took a nice long weekend up north to kick off our summer family vacation. We packed up the minivan with swim suits, sand toys, a basket of everlasting snacks and a cooler laden with juice boxes. The DVD disc changer was loaded and the GPS was programmed to Traverse City. We had sunshine and a beachfront hotel. Funny though how really all we needed to please our kids was any ole' swimming pool and a couple bajillion dollar bills for a vending machine! But, vacation isn't just about the kids, now is it? I mean, mom and dad need a vacation too! Mom and Dad, though, sadly are much harder and more costly to please.

Dinner at Sleders. A local favorite restaurant & bar whose gimmick is to the kiss the moose!
So we did. Here's Troy and Randolph.

Nate got a Tshirt for kissing the moose. He demanded to wear it the next several days in a row
