These Guys....

melt my heart...

The sports addiction doesn't start or end at hockey and soccer....

We also love baseball in this house :)

Sometimes I never want to leave

With a possible relocation to Wisconsin in our future, sometimes its sad to think about leaving here. We have grown to love many things about Michigan, and the summertime is so awesome here part of me hopes we get to stay ;)
We spent an evening in the fountains downtown tonight, and Logan had a blast. (but I think you can tell from the photos ;)

Beachin' It

We purchased our park sticker and were able to enjoy four days at the lake last week. The water in MI is so much warmer, and I couldn't believe how crowded the lake got!!! Here are a few shots :)

Tulip Time Parade

Tulipfest Part One----the portraits

Next weekend is the beginning of Tulipfest here in Holland. We decided to take advantage of the fact that the rainclouds were not pouring rain like they had threatened, and headed to a local park to get some snapshots.
I ts things like this that will really make Holland hard to leave. It is beautiful here this time of year especially, and I normally really dislike spring. We can't wait to go to the actual festival and get some pictures of all that fun stuff. For now, here are a few glimpses of what it really looks like here.

Concentration

What takes such deep concentration that his tongue is sticking out?
Getting dressed of course ;)

No Specific Destination

This past weekend the boys and I decided on a whim to take a little day trip. We packed a picnic, loaded up the car with dogs, sporting equipment and the GPS and got on the road.
We didn't really know where we were going to end up, but we did know we needed a BREAK! Justin has been prepping for finals like a mad-man and last week was super rainy, so it felt good to get out of Holland for a little bit.
We ended up just north of St.Joseph first, at a neat little park right on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. We played there for awhile and some of us even dipped our toes in the water ;)
Next up; St. Joseph. A scenic town right on Lake Michigan. It was so pretty there; we had a nice picnic lunch and played soccer in the sand for a LONG time :)
Last, we headed back north and stopped at a state park where we played hockey in the empty parking lot and took the dogs on a nice hike through the woods; with tick collars this time ;)
We had a great weekend exploring the state a little more. I think it is safe to say we will all miss the adventures we have had here. This is Justin's last week of school so it was a nice little break for him too! We find out in June sometime (hopefully) if we are moving back to Wisconsin, so keep your fingers crossed!
