Last Hurrah

We were able to head to Lake Michigan for a week before school started. We had beautiful weather the first four days out there. It was hot and sunny... perfect for the beach. The boys had so much fun playing in the water with Mike. Mary Kate mostly dug in the sand and Hope was a combination. We had such a nice time.

The boys are posing with our new kite in the background. We bought the kite in China, but I don't think we realized how scary the face looked.

Mike took the boys fishing one morning while I took the girls to the Social Security office to officially change Hope's name.


The boys caught snapping turtles and we have even kept one for a pet


Overall, it was a great week!
