Special Visitors

My parents were able to come and visit us the last week of October.  Aaron also had some time off while they were here so we packed up the car and went and explored a part of MI that we had never seen, Traverse City.  Despite the rainy weather, the leaves were still beautiful, the sand dunes were fun, and Lake Michigan was still impressive....makes the lakes I grew up with in CO seem more like puddles.

M quickly got over her fear of jumping in and was launching herself into the water.

During our second trip to the pool, she kept having Aaron move farther away from her and despite her giant jumps, Daddy was still having to launch himself forward to be there to catch her.  I haven't decided who was more fun to watch jump.  

M was decorating Gramma's pockets. 

 Love this one.

This may be my all time favorite pic of me and my mom.  

I think I may need to frame it.

The explorers reach the top of the sand dune.

Action shots.

I'm not sure that she enjoyed the sand dunes much?  :)

 G did great walking with Papa and Gramma, but as soon as they hit the sand she wasn't so sure of the squishy stuff under her feet and she definitely didn't like touching it with her fingers.

Thanks for visiting us, Papa and Gramma!  

Love you.
