We enjoyed such a lovely family vacation in Indiana and Michigan this summer. We went out to Lake Michigan and enjoyed the beautiful beaches and dunes...the perfect family vacation.
This was our first night. We found a quiet, private beach and enjoyed an evening by the water.
Hannah wanted to be a sand mermaid :)
Isaac wanted to join in the fun as a merman :)
30 weeks with baby #3
Enjoying the hotel room
It's pretty fun to get to hike in our bare feet :) All the sand made hiking sticks quite necessary :)

Washington Park Zoo, Michigan City
Isaac loved the tigeers
These stairs were just the beginning of our climb up a tall tower to see Michigan City. Isaac was pretending to be Flynn Rider climbing to rescue Rapunzel.

and back down...
This was a small zoo..but it's always fun to visit different zoo's and see the different displays of animals. The kids two favorites were the Otter and the Monkey's. The otter display had a tube that went through the water. The kids were able to sit in the tube while the otters swam over their heads. They were very playful and fun to watch!
This little monkey was stuck inside of this play ball. He was so funny to watch as he would stand up and waddle around with the ball around him.
Seth took us to the Warren Dunes one day as well. This was the spot that he vacationed as a child, and was excited to share the experience with us. The Dunes are just beautiful.
More hiking :)
We spent a while playing at the waters edge after our hike. We wet our feet, threw in rocks, and searched for rocks...
Hannah found a petosky stone. This was the perfect souvenir to take home from our MI vacation!
My boy....
More sand castles
We spent the whole day on the beach! It was warm in the late morning afternoon, and by later afternoon we got a breeze and it started to cool down...perfect time to fly a kite!
....more vacation fun to come :)
