Pure Michigan. {Lake Ann. Year 7 in the books.}

Seven years we've been heading up to Lake Ann as a family for vacation. And it's been great every year.  We've got our traditions down in stone; a day in historic Leland, a day at the dunes, a day at Good Harbor beach along Lake Michigan (the most amazing stretch of isolated beach I've ever seen), some downtown Traverse City, Moomers for ice-cream, and a whole lot of laughing in between.  I'm extremely thankful for parents who still make sure this happens every year, a sister who makes a point to get there from Pittsburgh each summer, and a family who loves each other.  

A little video of our week……..

Happy Monday!  

Firework Day {In Pictures}

4th of July, like Christmas, is one of those holidays that is hands down the most fun with kids.  Kids make small-town parades cool, red/white/and blue everything amazing, glow-in-the-dark (insert everything under the sun) the accessory to have, and watching fireworks the biggest thrill of your life.

We head to historic Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford every year to picnic on the lawn with friends, listen to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra play to the fire-works, and celebrate America.  Here's our day in pictures.

Hope you had a happy 4th!
