Or alternately expedia.com....because you should come here in the summer. It's so fabulous.
It's pretty in the late afternoon.
At night.
At 9:00 in the morning when you've already been telling your kids they can't go to the beach for 2 more hours.
Mark participated in his third annual M22 Challenge this year and conned his buddy Ben into doing it with him. The Ferwerdas rented a cottage just down the way and we had a fun weekend!
A rousing game of hi-ho cherry o... (if i may: who in the world thought a kids game with 304 cherries smaller than a marble would be a good idea?! i'm so annoyed at that person.)
Snuck out for a date night to celebrate Ben's big 30th Birthday! Welcome to the club, Bud!!
Dual purposing the tube...
Saying adios to Daddy on an early morning bike ride...
Sibling cuddle time
Reese climbed up and went to sleep on Allison. I was jealous, but took a picture anyway so I could try and seem like I was happy about it.
Naptime for the rest of the kids on the tube! Will is seriously sleeping...I think the rest were just VERY relaxed.
The Dads got the kids all excited about building a sand castle. Unfortunately the kids weren't really allowed to help as they created Ft. Manly. Once they were done the kids were allowed to enter. (As long as they didn't ruin it.)
Ava providing moral support through a tragic toe injury.
I feel like these pictures are a thing of the past-I certainly have one driving with my Dad. Church is just down a dirt road but we were too lazy to walk that morning. Judge at your leisure.
For the 30th celebration and "fathers day" for Mark-we sent them out fishing on Lake Michigan.
The fruit of their labor.
Ava and Will were the only kids brave enough to get close...
The skeptics on the side!
Grilled it out on his real birthday. Yum!
Also: remember to bring candles so someone doesn't have to blow out a lighter on their 30th bday.
THE BIG RACE!
Kiddos watching....
On the side of the road:
Way to go Mr. Ben!
Way to go Daddy!
Mark is the second guy from the front-
Woo hoo!!!!!
Proud of our husbands for their accomplishment and thankful for a fun weekend in the best place on earth!

Your kids...I love them. However, I think you may have misidentified one of them in this post.
And I really like that stripey sweater. Where'd you get it?
