Pure Michigan Vacation

At the end of September we got spoiled with a week and a half of fun with Nana and Papa.  Michael and Robert went on a bear hunt in the Upper Peninsula for the first few days and then Kellie and I drove with the kids up to Harbor Springs to meet them and spend a week at an unbelievable cabin in the woods.  It was on a beautiful golf course in the middle of some of the most amazing fall colors.  Kellie is quite the vrbo.com queen these days.  

Our trip started out with some of this
a fireside dinner
 followed by s'mores of course
And then the boys took off to do a little of this.  That's 275 lbs of black bear.
While we did some playing and building
before heading up North to this
where we did some snuggling
 and hot tubing.
  Nanny and Grandad made quite the road trip from Ardmore, OK to spend the week up there too
 Langley helped Nana make some pumpkin bread
she dug the sugar
She also helped Nana and Luke figure out his new Angry Bird's game by reading the directions for them
 We celebrated Nana's birthday with a from scratch red velvet cake made by sweet Nanny with three crazy kids running around to distract her.  It was a fun memory even though it didn't turn out exactly right.  
 We ventured out to a farm for lunch one day

Papa with a happy girl
Nanny and Grandad with their great grandkids.  Pretty special.
And the rest of the time was spent relaxing and playing quite a bit of golf. I didn't get any pictures of all of the golfers, but here's one of me and my love.  Kellie was the absolute best for keeping the kids so we could both play so often.  
It was a wonderful trip and such a sweet gift of time with Nanna, Papa, Nanny and Grandad! We are thankful.
