Spring Break- Traverse City Michigan

This spring break we decided to take advantage of open seats on a Detroit flight and head to Traverse City.  The Jacobson family recently moved there and it had been way too long since we had seen Laura and Tony and finally meet Lilly.  It was an amazing trip and one for the books.  We had a great time hiking, playing games, going to the park and going out for ice cream. 

 The kids were excited when they saw the snow and they made sure to nail us with snow balls.

 We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes on the first day.  Lake Michigan looks so turquoise here.  According to NOAA, the blue and green color is sediment brought to the surface when strong winds churn the lake.  The sediment most often colors the lake in the spring and fall when transitioning weather patterns bring strong storms.

 The kids had so much fun playing on the dunes.  I will admit, the adults did too!

 Channeling his inner force.....




 We hiked down a very long hill and ended up on the beach.  


 Alia and Avery loved playing with Lilly.  They took turns walking her around the house.

 Crazy kids!

 This was their pose....

 Park time!



 After a long walk from the park, we enjoyed ice cream.

Alia wanted to get Lilly a matching Beanie Boo stuffed animal.  She quickly fell in love with her kitty and had many snuggles and animated conversations with it.

 In other news, Alia lost both front teeth a week apart!  I love her smile.
