To end the summer, we did a quick AirBnb trip up to Houghton Lake with Charyl and Ron. We stayed right on the lake, got a pontoon a couple days, had a campfire pretty much the whole time, relaxed and played with the kids. Mom and Dad came up for a bit on Saturday, and that was fun! They stayed the night and even though it was a little tough for the girls, we all had a great time. It was a little chilly but still a great mini vacation.

On our first day at the cottage, we got the fire going to hang out around. It was a little chilly but still not too bad. We had some dinner and watched the sunset from the backyard and the dock.

Our first full day was still a little chilly but we made the most of it. As you will see, I tried to take a nap because the girls didn't sleep too well. Julie didnt' want me too but Mike managed to coax her outside so I got a little bit of rest. We rented a pontoon and hung out in the water for quite awhile. Too cold to swim but the girls still liked the ride. Laina snuggled with me. Julie loved playing in the dirt (I did NOT love it) but eventually I just tried to let it go ;) Charyl and Mike tried to teach Julie how to fish, but her patience didn't allow it (Julie's, not Charyl's!)

On Saturday, we all slept a LITTLE bit better. Julie fed the ducks for the millionth time (they even started coming up to the picnic table when we were sitting there, the buggers!) and we rented the pontoon another day. My mom and dad stopped up after a few hours and hung out with us there. We had steaks for dinner and generally just relaxed and had a good time. Laina didn't want to sleep but Julie was ready by the time we got her ready for bed. She fell asleep by the fireplace!
