Michigan- Crystal Lake

We arrived at Crystal Lake on Saturday, June 8th.

 We stayed at Chimney Corners on the north side of the lake.  This is the 3rd year in a row I have taken the girls up here.  This year was extra special because Drew joined us!

 Here is our cabin... "Highview"  (It gets its name because it is the highest cabin on the hill!)

 We all played cards everyday!  Emmy learned how to play Uno.

 Keelin is pointing to our cabin on the map.

 The girls were so excited to get down to the lake!  They enjoyed throwing rocks with cousin Tracey.

 Not only did Drew join us this year... we had 16 family members including my brother, Jeff and his wife, Shauna, from Arizona!  We grew from 5 last year to 16 this year!

 We enjoyed catching up and socializing down at the fire pit!

The whole group! (with beautiful Crystal Lake behind us!)

if you were wondering how it got its name??? the lake is crystal clear!  The swimming area has more sand, but I think the rocks are beautiful!

Keelin's Tee Ball

Keelin had another fun season of tee ball!  This was her second year playing tee ball and she really enjoyed it.  She was on the Pirates team again this year. 

 They got to play one of the first games this season on the baseball field at St. Ben's.

 Some of the games were at Holy Rosary.  The girls enjoyed the playground here!

 Keelin and Hannah were on the same team again this year!

 I think Emmy is ready to play tee ball!

 The team!  Serious and Funny!

 

 

Keelin had some spectators at her last tee ball game! Mamaw, Aunt Jamie, Uncle Clay, and her cousins, Ashlyn and Cooper came to watch her.

 picnic time!

 Mamaw kept the girls busy during the game!

 Cooper "the happy baby!"

I smell trouble from these two in the future! Two little cuties

Mesker Park Zoo

The girls and I made our first summer trip to the zoo!

Emmy was big enough to go through the net canopy!  Good thing she had her big sister to help her along.

The girls got purple snakes! 

 They coiled their snakes and told them to take a nap!

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, we took the girls for a bike ride on the river trail and we had a picnic at the park.
