Teary-eyed
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I love Google Photos. I truly do. Each day, my phone prompts me with a ‘remember this day’ type of photo album where I can reminisce about what we did on this day last year, or 8 years ago. Every once in a while, a video collage pops up. Sometimes it is about a weekend…
A Damp Monster Mash
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The City of Portage has a Halloween Monster Bash at Schrier Park. We had never gone, so we thought that this year would be a good time to check it out. It was a pretty beautiful day, so we took Bella for a walk and then headed out and left her at home. It is…
Last Summer Fun
Saturday was unseasonably warm so we decided to capitalize on it and go to the beach. We started off going to St. Joseph where the kids showed us around because they have both been there with Curious Kids in the past. They recommended we eat at Silver Beach Pizza for lunch. This was definitely a…
So. many. pictures.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have realized that not only have we been terrible at writing about what we’ve been up to ALL summer (and even before then), but we also know that we’ve taken hundreds thousands of pictures and have really done nothing with them.

We got a house through AirBnB on Lake of the Ozarks. We drove for about ten hours each way hoping that we will get to witness…
Young State Park Camping Trip
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This year our family took a trip to Young State Park to go camping. On our way up, we stopped at a White Cloud for lunch. The kids didn’t have their swim suits on, but that didn’t stop them from jumping in the water regardless. Once we got there, the kids ran to the beach…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This summer we have all been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the summer weather. With Bella we have been spending time in our back yard as well as at dog beach in Muskegon. Enjoy the pictures below.

In addition to Violet running, Hayden decided to run as well once he saw all of the fun and excitement. They both finished…
