Vacation!

This year family vacation was amazing.  I LOVE being at the cottage with family and we haven't been in Michigan to enjoy it for years!  

I think some of my favorite memories were my mom and dad's 40th anniversary party, the "highs and lows" conversation, and fireworks....

Here are some pictures to capture the fun:
