Michigan, Week 2

After Chris left with Nanna and Papa we had a couple days to ourselves before Ra-Ra joined us at the cottage.

Nina loved riding the tractor at Pond Hill Farm, became an expert bubble maker and kite flyer with gifts from Ra-Ra, rode on the ferry to Mackinac Island, and had lots of playtime at the new "river" by the beach. Hot and sunny, rainy, windy or cloudy... every day was another adventure!

Michigan, Week 1

After a pretty easy 10-hour drive to Harbor Springs we settled right in to vacation mode at the cottage with Nanna and Papa. The Fourth of July parade was entertaining as always, and Nina quickly fell in love with all aspects of life in northern Michigan: playing at the beach, shopping and dining in Petoskey and Harbor Springs, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air, and indulging in cookies, ice cream and fudge!

A Visit from Aunt AB

We wore Nina out with a jam-packed couple of days visiting with Aunt AB (Anna Bess) from Memphis. You can see how the exhaustion finally set in... Fun times at the Contemporary Art Center, neighborhood playground, zoo (the carousel!!), and of course the pool. (Since I am always the one in the water with Nina I need to get someone else to take photos of her swimming!)
