For years Mike has been telling me, summers in Michigan are the best! And he proved it to me this past week. We had the most beautiful weather, saw all of our family and still had time to visit quite a few friends and show off Lillian!
 |
| Cathy's new backyard pool opened a week ago. Mike & I got the kids these cool towel / sweatshirts! |
 |
| Emily & her boyfriend Riley with Lillian. |
 |
| The sun sets around 9:30 pm in Whitehall, we enjoyed after dinner bonfires every night in front of Clive & Laurel's house. |
 |
| Cousins getting to know each other! |
 |
| Grandpa soothing pint-sized Lily! |
 |
| Lillian's first boat ride! |
 |
| I took a lot of sunset pictures - is there a better way to end a good summer day? |
 |
| S'mores! |
 |
| Lily loves her time with Grandma! |
 |
| Grandma bought the girls matching firecracker dresses (Lillian's bloomers were so big - when we stood her up they sunk to her ankles!). |
 |
| More s'more's and bonfires! |
 |
| The s'more experts and ultimate hosts, Grandma and Grandpa Cooper. |
 |
| Relaxing after a beautiful sunset and a belly full of s'mores -waiting for the fireworks! |
 |
| Finally meeting Mark & Joanne Cooke - they happened to be in Michigan with their three kids visiting from Clearwater, Florida. |
 |
| Maggie Evans holding our "whoopi cushion". Lillian was letting out some loud gas bubbles right on Maggie's lap! |
 |
| All the Evan's kids meeting their "shirttail cousin" Lillian. |
 |
| Lillian wrapped around Grandpa's finger. |
 |
| The most beautiful fawn right in Grandma's backyard. |
 |
| And finally, dinner with "Cousin" Phil - who drove all the way from Troy to see us. We missed Marla and the boys! |
That picture of Layla and Lily is so funny and cute! Lillian looks like such a peanut!
