Pentwater/Lake Michigan

Every summer we pack up and head north to the adorable little town of Pentwater. In the past we have camped, or stayed in a hotel, but this year my parents rented a house on the channel. It was a relaxing week. A little chilly at times, but fun! :)

The girls enjoyed the shallow water this year.
I was having a little fun with my camera here... :)

Cousin Photo Shoot :)

A few weeks ago, Carrie and the kids came over for their annual summer visit. We've made it a tradition to dress them alike (not sure how much longer they will think that's cool...) and taking pictures. They always turn out great...and this year was no exception! :) Enjoy!!
Emma and her "best buddy" Luke!
