Playing Games

It's been too nice out to play games inside!

Hannah built herself a wooden box 

when she painted it the little boys had to paint something too

Miles made a nice wooden trivet for the dining room table

and of course the little boys have to build something too

Daddy and Celene Date

A picnic supper, a visit to the beach, a walk down the pier to the lighthouse...

Lake Michigan Beach with Grandma

I think the September weather has been warmer than the August weather.

We are enjoying some extra beach time before the winter sets in.
