Grand Haven

I spent the past week in Grand Haven with my family. Annual Beach Week. I love Grand Haven week....this year was everything i expected it would be.

Highlights of the week:
Morning walks with my Aunts and Cousins
Evening walks along the boardwalk
The beach - reading and chatting, building a "Sand Octopus" out of my niece Lydia
Swimming with Lydie and Miri
Lots of ice cream
Peanut Butter Pizza (Lydia's Birthday dessert!)
Watching the sun set, and the moon rise over Lake Michigan
Fireworks
Playing games
Our Annual all family game of "Apples to Apples"
Resting
Lydia's 5th Birthday
Returning pop bottles at Meijer w/ Lydie and Miri (they don't have deposits in KY, so had never done it...they loved "feeding" the machine pop bottles!).
Pronto Pups
Butch's Beach Burritos
Lydia telling me she "loves me to infinity and back"
Breakfast with Dad at The Morning Star Cafe

Last Night was Flurry Friday. it was rainy, and there were threats of storms...but a little rain can't stop a tradition like Flurry Friday. The Bock Clan gathered at "The Dairy Treat" and got our Flurries. What a fun night. Grandpa was there, and all my Mom's siblings...and lots of cousins. Ice Cream and Family...i think that's a pretty good night.

I love the week in Grand Haven. This year i saw Lake Michigan the roughest i've ever seen it, and we also had 2 of the most perfect beach days ever. its still not set in stone, but its beginning to look like i'll be able to make it for Beach Week next summer too. YEAH!
