14 Months, 4 Weeks (Part 2)




























Before summer break ends for me, we were able to sneak up to the Beachtowns of Michigan for a few days.  Our first stop was in St. Joe.  Livi enjoyed some yummy ice cream, but I'm not sure what she thought of the pirate statues on the street!







































After St. Joe it was onto our hotel in Muskegon, the Shoreline Inn. Check out the view from our room!  It was so pretty and relaxing.  Olivia quickly made herself at home on the big bed and in the swimming pool.
















The next day we went to visit one of Josh's favorite sights, a light house. Even though Olivia feel asleep on the drive there, I think she had a little bit of fun once we got there.  She especially liked ringing the bell!



















That afternoon, we hit the Pere Marquette beach.  It was such a pretty beach!  And just what we needed to relax!  Olivia had so much fun splashing in the water and building sandcastles with Josh.
 

















And what better way to end a great family day than with a nice dinner on the  lake. I know there will come a time when Olivia will refuse to be seen in anything remotely close to what I'm wearing.  So until then, I am loving wearing coordinating outfits!


















Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean you can't eat healthy! Olivia has really been loving fruits and veggies these days. Even though tomatoes and bananas are not Josh's favorites, Olivia is a big fan!













































After one last dip in the hotel pool, it was time to head to Valpo to go and pick up Tinker from Grandma and Grandpa's.  Olivia continued to show her excellent tech skills by programming the GPS.  We tried to squeeze in one more beach day by hitting the Dunes.  Unfortunately our fun was cut short by a storm that blew in.  Oh well, it was still a great little getaway!
