We had a great time visiting family and friends in MI. Avery and I started our vacation off in Jackson before heading to the Western shores...
Playing around at Cascades Park. Avery loves, loves, loves to slide!
At a park in Holland, MI visiting Uncle Eddie, Aunt Suzy and Cousin Frankie. This is Avery's new favorite thing to do - hang from anything and swing.
After Holland we headed to a beach house on Lake Michigan to meet up with Chris' family from Kentucky. How convenient that they choose MI. :) Had a blast hanging out with Bumpa, Miss Hudie, Uncle Carter, Aunt Sarah, and Cousins Hollings and Whit.
97 steps down to our beach. It was a good workout!
Looking for Petoskey stones. Ok, maybe Avery is just playing but we did find one!

One morning Chris, Avery and I headed into South Haven to explore for a few hours.

Back in Jackson with Cousin Anna at the Cascade Falls. A new tradition when we're in town.
In preperation for Avery's birthday party, Anna painting her toes. :)
The birthday girl is ready!
Enjoying the good stuff!
Cousin Frankie digging in - don't mess up your party shirt!
Enjoying the Polar Bear express slide at Nixon one hot afternoon.
Had to take a picture of this shopping cart at Meijer. It had a tv in it!

Avery refused to get back in the pack. She's very determined to hike by herself these days. It was a long walk back to the car...
Anytime Av can get her feet wet she's happy!
Hike out to Peanut Lake
At the top of Paradise Divide. Truly Paradise!
