For the second year in a row, my parents rented a cottage on the shores of Sturgeon Bay, and invited us to come along. Last year was fun, but Nathan and Natalie both got really sick, I was a queasy pregnant lady, and Todd was only able to join us for a few days. What a difference a year makes! This year we were all healthy, Danielle is a sweet 6 month old, and Todd was able to take the whole week off. It was SUCH a delightful week. It was relaxing in every way. Only one day was rainy, and Todd took Nathan on a special father-son trip to an indoor water park. The rest of the time we relaxed, played on the beach, made s'mores, climbed the dune down the street from the cottage, cooked simple meals, read books, and soaked up as much of Michigan summer as humanly possible. Mom and Dad watched the kids one evening so Todd and I could sneak off to Petoskey Brewing Company for date night. I came back home feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. What a gift!
