PLAYING CATCH UP SINCE JUNE...will post a month at at time...SORRY!!
June was great fun...as the weather warmed up and our trips to the beach began!! We love getting out to the lake as much as possible during the summer!!
We headed out to Lake Michigan to continue our Father's Day tradition of celebrating with the whole fam on the beach and grilling out...fun, relaxing, quiet...a great way to celebrate Dads!!
Isla's 1st Father's Day with her Dad...she's got him completely smitten:) 
Love that corn, Mom!!
Grammy brought noodles to the beach...forever to be known as "noodle swords" 
Where's Aunt Libbie? Taking the picture:(

Father's Day weekend was the beginning of Alan's few days off during June...so, we had planned ahead to spend Sunday at the beach with the whole family and then continue up the lakeshore to one of our favorite campgrounds in Muskegon and camp for 2 nights. Isla's first camping experience...both of the kids were in heaven getting to play in sand on the beach, then dirt, leaves, sticks, etc. in the campground. The days were a perfect 75-80 and sunny, and the nights cool in the 60's-perfect to sleep well. It was a great first camping trip of the summer and Isla was a champ!!
How could we need this much stuff for 2 nights of camping??
Oak loved playing ladder ball with Daddy as much as possible
Isla was only crawling, so the amount of dirt and sticks on her little knees bothered her at times...so, she spent quite a bit of time just riding around on our backs:)
Lots of beach play-time! Alan and I are big beach-bums...so, we love that our kids love the beach, too!! Michigan summers are a blast!
Daddy taking some great candids...
During the last week in June, we headed out to a close-by, inland lake and beach on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Daddy got hold of the camera, again, and took some fun pictures...
Normally I wouldn't allow a picture to be posted showing my lower half, but Oak and I were having so much fun "erasing" our names in the sand, it had to be shown:)
We can't get enough of those cute buns...little chunkers:)
