More Pure Michigan

Day two in Grand Haven. First we had a very tasty breakfast at the Morning Star Cafe.

Flowers outside our place--so pretty!

After a satisfying meal (or missing Daddy--probably both)

Then it was off to the farmers market.

We continued our walk, snapped a few family pictures and then headed home.

Kendall in line at Pronto Pups (I tried a bite, very yummy)

Nana, Claire and Kendall

Laura, Phil (note bunny ears)
Nathan, Nana, Claire and Kendall

Claire LOVES rocks. She is kissing this rock goodbye :)

Thanks to Sandy and Phil for hosting us! We had a wonderful time.

PS--Check out this picture from our Skype with Daddy this morning...Natey tries to shut the computer and look behind it, like maybe Kyle is hiding behind there. Tugs right at my little heart.

Pure Michigan

We're in Grand Haven with Nana, Grandpa, Claire, Kendall and Laura. So much fun!

Just dipping our toes for now

Claire thinking about getting wet (later we could barely get her to leave the water to warm up!) 

Starfish (and Natey's Freds) 

Have shovel, will travel

Chilling in the beach chair

Want some?

Refreshing!

Sweetie-licious

There's an adorable little cafe in downtown DeWitt called Sweetie-licious. While they are famous for their pies (seriously, the owner has won numerous national awards), they also serve an amazing lunch. So, before they left for Royal Oak, we introduced it to the Allen girls.

Nathan and Henry (aka Sophie)

A Conversation Without Words

I love you. 

I love you, too--Look! A boat!

That was a cool boat. Let's text people to join us.

And just like that, they arrive!

Texting is fun.

Kisses!

Hail, Hail to Michigan!

Grandpa plays the Michigan fight song for Claire and Natey!

Go Blue!

No Sir, Don't Mean Maybe!

Yes sir, that's my baby!

On a normal day you can barely tell that Nathan and I are related, but after a little sun...you still can't tell.

Daddy's coloring AND Daddy's looks

Happy pale-faced baby

I swear this is my son!

No Pants, No Problem

It's too hot for pants!

PS--Today is birthday number SEVEN for Brady Thomas Bupp. A very happy birthday to my cute nephew!
