Day 4: “Time to Unwind”




We slept in and spent the first half of the day in our jammies. The kids were busy all afternoon playing games and hanging out. We did a little laundry- how we made 4 loads already is beyond me… While Jack napped, Dave, Carter and I headed out to Target and the grocery to stock up for our Westward Ho trip. We spent a small fortune, but are totally set up now.

When we returned, Mike and Lela had prepared this amazing huge meal for the 12 of us and we ate like happy piglets. It was nice to have a day with our family and unwind together. Dalton made it home from his class trip a bit early, so we got to visit with him too. It is fun to see how the kids have grown so much, yet they all just reconnect when we’re all together. It was also fun to see Alanna’s son Braylen and her as a mom- when it seems like she should still be that cute little girl running around in her school uniform! Mike and Lela have been such gracious hosts and it is so easy to just chill our here- we sadly realize that we have to head out tomorrow. We put the kids to bed, jammy up and the sun finally sets at 10:30 at night. It would take a while to get used to the reflective phenomena of the sun on Lake Michigan.
