We're Back!

And we had a fantastic time! So much sun, water, sand, eating, family, and friends! The week went by way too fast. Brayden loved every second of it. He got spoiled by everyone, loved the water and sand, and wanted to go on the boat all the time. Below are some of the pictures I took. I don't normally like to post this many pictures, but when I have 313 to choose from, it is really hard to narrow it down. So sit back and enjoy the (many) pictures!

Playing the water with Uncle Chad. After 5 minutes of screaming and crying because he didn't like the sand or water, he finally tried it and the rest of the week, it was impossible to get him out of the water!! When asked what he wanted to do on a particular day, his response always was "water!" It also helped that the lake water was on average in the mid 70's!!

Loving every second of being in the water!

Playing in the sand and building castles with Patrick.

Playing with his little cousins, Jaiden and Eliana.

Playing in more sand back at the trailer.

Watching a storm come across the lake. We had a couple rough storms while we were up there. Did I mention that we were staying in a tent?? :)

Sitting in the shade and taking a break with Papa.

Playing in the water...again...with Nana and Papa.

The sunsets in Pentwater are indescribable!

In the stroller getting ready to go get some ice cream. We found out that he doesn't like to share ice cream with anyone. He has to have his own! :)

Going for his first boat ride. Standing up front with Papa.

We had such an amazing time and are already looking forward to next year. It was so wonderful to spend all that time with family and friends. This is truly one of my favorite times of the year!
