Family Vacation

1-2-3!

We spent a week in northern Michigan, "Up Norith" as the boys still call it.  This time, Sam seemed to know that the house we stay in is not "up norith" all by itself and starting calling it "the cabinet".  Like, "Can we go back to the cabinet now?" 
We had a great time!  We spent five days there, 3 of which we were joined by Jeff's brother Doug and his family.  We went to the beach, had a campfire, took walks and ate well.  We had one rainy afternoon but with this Midwest drought, there is no complaining about rain.  Libby and I took all three boys to the movies which was a great diversion.  We found a few GeoCaches and played many MANY card games.  Overall - a great time away!
