Stepping Out of the Box

We took a spontaneous trip across the state the other day. This is not something that we normally do, mostly because my husband never has any time off on the weekends. It was nice to pick a place far away from where we live, that neither of us had ever been to. I wish that he would have more weekends off, but in the world of retail, that is not going to happen any time soon!

I'll bet you're wondering where we decided to go? We went to Grand Haven, Michigan. This is a beautiful little town on Lake Michigan, not too far from Grand Rapids. And, boy did we have a blast!

The boys had fun playing in the sand! Alex even decided to make a sand angel.


They had fun playing in the water and the waves!





Alex killed some beach flies. Those little buggers bit hard too!!
Bug enjoyed flying his beach towel like a kite.

Enrique relaxed as the sun went down.

Then the boys built "lounge chairs" out of the sand to watch the sunset.
