South Haven

Mike, Adelynn and I enjoyed a little summer vacation on Mike's parents' boat. We were thankful they let us use it again (this was our third summer doing this), and we really had a great time. The weather was in the low '70s, which was the perfect temperature. Mike and I got a lot of reading in, and Adelynn enjoyed playing in various locations on the boat. We had different "stations" set up for her, so we could put her in different places when she seemed to be getting bored. Adelynn and I did quite a bit of window shopping, and we even did some real shopping as well. I decided I have two new favorite stores. I found some really cute things for Adelynn and even managed to pick up some things for my classrooms this year. Of course, the food was great, too. Adelynn even took in her first movie in a movie theater. She doesn't know that, though, because she slept through the movie, and we had her ears covered the whole time, so she was none the wiser.



I'm ready to go shopping Daddy!

Watching the ducks. I counted 53 at one point.
The swimsuit was purely just for show. She had no need to wear a swimsuit, but it just looked so cute with the hat!!

Working on that flexibility.

Such concentration--it takes two hands to shove those toes into her mouth

Chatting with Mommy after a fun day


Getting ready for the dinghy ride--check out the sweet life jacket. Adelynn was riding in style. This is the most sun Adelynn saw all week. We had her so covered up. I think she's going to be surprised some day when she realizes that there is actually something called sun, not just shade.

In her little beach cover-up. Again, this is really just for looks--she didn't get to go to the beach or go swimming.
