Blueberry Picking on the way home from Vacation

On the way to Oscoda, we saw a sign for a U-Pick Blueberry Farm. We stopped there on the way home. We had so much fun! Katie and Mikey's little fingers were perfect for picking the blueberries. (Child labor at it's best.) At one point, Mikey said, "Mommy, will you put more in my bucket?" He ate all the blueberries he had picked. We ALL ate so many blueberries while we were picking. We want to look for a blueberry farm around here so we can do it again.

"Vacation in August. We play in the Sand."

This was the view from our condo... mornings were beautiful. The weather was PERFECT! It was a great week and we hope to do something like this again next year.

This was our condo complex view from the beach. Our unit was the 2nd from the left.
There's Derek and Katie - enjoying the afternoon on the deck.

Derek's birthday morning. Blue skies and beach combing.

I'm really good at setting the timer on the camera :)

Katie picked me some flowers when she went for a walk down the beach.

Running down the steps to the beach.

The Oscoda Public Beach - it had an awesome playground and skate park right on the beach. We brought Mikey's bike and he rode on a couple ramps with Derek holding onto him :)

Mikey relaxing in the sand.

Katie and Derek coming in from a COLD dip in Lake Huron.

Mikey wanted to see the waterfall that fed all the water into Lake Huron... Derek took him to the Oscoda welcome sign.

Off the beaten path...

... next to the Au Sable River.

That's just some of the 130 pictures from our trip :)

Just some silly stuff...

Buying diapers by the case = fun for 2 children

Mikey's doing some stretches in Katie's leg warmers.

Still stretching.

Katie trying to get her leg warmer off.

Katie got this ring stuck around her neck and shoulder.

We couldn't get it off, so Derek cut it off.

Ann Arbor Hands-On Fun!

Here are some pictures from our fun time at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.

Turn that crank, Mikey! Make those lights turn on!

Katie didn't want to be in the bubble :(

Jasmine was a natural "bubble girl."

Ooooo... Balloon!

What kid doesn't love the ball ramps?

So tired on the way home.

California Fun!

I always have a great time visiting Jen, Robert, and the Boys - but this time was especially fun because we went to DISNEYLAND! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the big day. Costco slideshow of the whole trip to follow!

It's a Small World Afterall!!

To Infinity and Beyond!!

Buzz was super cool!B

Autotopia!

One of the Boys' favorite rides. Lucas is very proud of his "Drivers License" as you can see!

Lukii's favorite ride was the Rocket Ride! If you ask him if he liked Great Thunder Mountain Railroad - he'll say, "not so much" :-)

It was a long day...but LOTS of fun!

Ian was cun cun while Jen was doing some midnight (literally) shopping.

Jen's Birthday Lunch!

We had a fun birthday lunch with Jen and Family at Red Robin "Yummmm". It was a quick visit, but fun for the kids. Happy 41st!!!! We still have to celebrate that 40th :)
