The Girls + 1

Earlier this week Grandma Kathy, Mia, Gabriel and I took a little vacation up north. We spent four days in the Lake Charlevoix area. On Monday we left home at about 9:00 and went to Avalanche Bay the indoor water park at the Boyne Mountain Resort. The kids had a blast! Mia loved The Vertigo, a big water slide that sends you into a giant bowl and you go around-and -around until you get to the middle and out into the Lazy River. It felt like you were a penny going around-and-around in one of the change donation tunnels. Gabriel and Grandma Kathy has lots of fun playing in the Kid's Pool. After dinner that night we took a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. The view was amazing, but I didn't take my camera up. I did, however, get a picture of Grandma and Mia on the lift.

On Tuesday we went to Kathy's sister, Mary Ann's, cottage in Horton Bay just 6 miles from Boyne City and spent two relaxing days on her private beach on Lake Charlevoix. Mike's cousin's girls came up with  Mary Ann so it was lots of fun for Mia to have kids to play with. Tuesday evening we went to Kathy's sister, Deb's, house in Petoskey and had a wonderful dinner and roasted marshmallows on the fire and made yummy s'mores. It was lots of fun and a very relaxing trip, and wonderful to be able to spend a few days with family.
