Ludington Squared . . .

A boy and his dog.

We made a second trip to Ludington this summer, but the first 3/4 of our trip was just the four of us, and the last 1/4 was with Pete's family. The first weekend we were able to spend some quality time with our friends, the Millers. Liz had a baby shortly after I did, so we got to meet Molly and they got to meet Seda. The boys fished, we went to the beach, and just enjoyed being together again. It was a super relaxing week with lots of family time, naps, fishing, and beautiful weather. I figure I'll let the pics tells the story of this trip!

Brooklyn and Charlie playing with the Dominoes.

Drinking some yogurt and watching TV.

Brooklyn smiled... Charlie frowned. He's not a fan of getting his picture taken lately.

These two were running into Steve's tush and cracking up at themselves!

Logan surprised Seda by laying next to her.

Molly and Seda.... Molly is so petite, and Seda is... well... you can see here!

Such a great weekend with the Millers! We live too far away from them. :( 

Charlie wanted to catch a big fish, but when it came to a 5:30 wake-up, he wasn't interested.

Steve and Pete's catches of the day.

Charlie jumping in the woods during our hike. 

Seda LOVED watching all the trees.... Spirit of the Forest!

He's getting to be an old man, but still loves to swim!

Payton swam out to greet the boys when they came back from fishing.

Charlie lovin' the boat!

My little fisherman.

Their catch of the day!

Charlie showing off his bluegill.

He fell asleep like this when I was making him lunch. 

All smiles in the blue recliner.

Charlie and Grandma found Great Grandpa George and Great Grandma Betty's old hats. It was a hat party! 

So cute.

Playing shut the box with Grandpa.

The boys partying in their hats!

"Watch out, Seda, it's that lady with the camera again!"

My little Spartan fans. Go Green!

Class of . . . 2031???

Grandpa wanted to see if the fish was bigger than Charlie! 

Another big fish pose with Dad!

Watching Dad clean the fish.

Celebrating Grandma's birthday!

Ugh... just melts my heart!
