We were lucky enough to get some time in South Haven again this September and clearly Mother Nature approved - because we had just about the best weather weekend of the summer!
The first time we went to South Haven I think I might have had on everything in my suitcase (at the same time) most of the weekend... this year... swim suits and sunscreen!
We made the most of a long weekend and got there Thursday night - late.
And when Friday morning looks like this --- you know you made the right choice!
Same as the cottage, Lake Michigan ebbs and flows in terms of beach front - but I guess I never really noticed it. Last time we were there, we probably had 20+ feet of beach - this year, the dunes were almost in the water.
Apparently over the years this theme has continued and there are full swing sets and playhouses buried here too. Crazy! (Patrick wants to bring a shovel next time!)
What could be better than this?
Can't seem to turn this picture around - but I love the bright colors - so turn your head please!
Both boys (and all the other kids) loved the beach and the space and the freedom!
The big mat was also a huge hit --- the kids played ALL DAY!
The Ulrich boys and the Ellestad boys - just digging in the sand.
One of my favorite parts of the weekend was just being "moms" with these ladies --- it was just fun and easy and whichever kid needed something - a mom took care of it. Big Love style :)
Love both of these pictures of Beth and Callie loving up on their littles --- clearly we all had a fantastic time!
We also enjoyed some girl time and plenty of yummy beachy beverages :)
The guys had a blast too - lots of football and fun on the beach - they even build a throne of drift wood and Patrick found the ultimate walking stick :)
Group photo of many of the kids ---
Thanks again for an awesome weekend!
