greetings from paw paw...

...where the weather is cool, the air is clean, and the fishing is fun!

just got back from visiting my cousins in michigan. i showed off my casting skills to uncle nathan, and i caught two fish!

me and my cousin bryson got to go outside in the mornings and play in our pajamas,

and when it warmed up we got to cruise on the jet-ski.

bryson's mommy and daddy can drive really fast! my aunt aimee is a real daredevil.

my mom says she never knew such pretty green grass grew next to lakes. it was so soft under my feet.

baby ryland didn't like his life vest very much, but we had to wear the kind with the head flap for safety.

me and bryson were great navigators. we told uncle josh and uncle nathan when to turn the boat.

cheese! here's to cool summer breezes and family fun.

captiva, here we come!

nobody could keep claire from joining in on the pool party...

she let us get a head start since boys are slower than girls.

shoveling sand helps use up energy...that's something i have a lot of.

then we wore uncle jimbo out with a good old fashioned game of hit the clown.

me and charlie practiced our skills during the mosquito feasting hour.

a sunset beach walk just before bedtime. can you tell we're still not tired?

i love my mommy and my grandma.

it was my longest time away from mommy ever (since she had to fly home early for her class). that made me sad, but she threw me and daddy a welcome home party with cupcakes, balloons, and streamers.

what a fun trip!
