Another trip to Silver Lake!

This was one of the coolest trips that we've taken to Silver Lake. This particular day it was so windy out and the news kept talking about how big the waves were going to be. We decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and head out to check out the waves and play on the dunes. We couldn't miss this opportunity for a "photo shoot"!

Grand Rapids Children's Museum

I am sad to say that I have never been to the GR Children's Museum before. I am so glad that we finally decided to go. If you've never been, it's an awesome place to hang out all day and learn. They have the mirrors that make you look tall, short, wide and thin. There are even mirror tunnels to climb in. These are a few of my favorites.


















This bubble thing was probably the coolest thing there. It was a contest to see who could keep the bubble together the longest. I think Lynn was crowned bubble king!

Silver Lake

Lake Michigan was the place to be this summer. The water got so warm and stayed that way for a long time, so we were able to make several trips to Silver Lake and Grand Haven. Emma is a sand baby and LJ is definately our water baby. He had a blast out in the water and sitting on shore letting the waves get him while Emma was perfectly content digging holes and builing sand castles. This particular day was spent at Silver Lake, our favorite place!

John Ball Zoo '10

This summer we were took the kids to John Ball Zoo in GR, and they had so much fun. All of the animals were out on display and the petting zoo animals were out in full force. For the 1st time we were able to actually pet and feed the sting rays which was the highlight of the day. Here are a few snapshots from the day.
