All the vacations we planned for this summer have included a beach for a reason, and on each of those summer vacations, the weather has prevented us from enjoying the beach. Instead of sulking, I've come to the conclusion that my good Lord is preventing me from skin cancer.

This past weekend we took a trip up to Traverse City with Andy's family. We stayed at a cottage that was right on the East Bay. Although we hit another cloudy, rainy vacation weekend, we had a great time. The view was phenomenal even with the sun hiding behind those clouds.

A few steps down the stairs...
And down the dry dock...
The beautiful lakefront...
The water was warm and calm. This time we didn't let the rain get in our way. Cami and I went for a swim despite the drizzle. Actually, I felt like a little kid again playing in the rain, and Cami loved it! She sure is a little fish.
This was the shack being built next door.
The girls managed to sneak out and get a pedi while the boys went golfing...My feet featuring Pompeii Purple
Me taking pictures. See me?!
Cami's been watching mommy take pictures and she now loves to control the little camera. She actually does really well and it's a whole production. Here's how it generally goes:
Wrong way honey...
She starts by showing you were she wants you, tells you to smile, checks out the picture and lets us know what the picture looks like. After this picture she laughed and said "I got your belly" and then proceeded to take another one.
Cami's turn to pose. She's a real ham for the camera.
Aunt Rachel and Cami being silly. This is their scary pose.
And their sweet pose.
