Pure Michigan. Pure Fun.

This weekend we vacationed in St. Joseph, Michigan with the entire Veneris clan (about 25 people!).  I was more than worried about staying with the two kids in a 2 room hotel room!  But... I must admit they did fantastic!! Mya was on cloud 9 the ENTIRE weekend! She had a full tank of energy the entire weekend, but finally hit empty on the carride home!

We got to Michigan Friday afternoon.   We unpacked and headed out to dinner with the entire group!  The kids did surprisingly well considering it was a loooooong sit-down dinner.  Bedtime Friday evening was pretty easy with neither kid fighting the process!  Matt and I even got to enjoy a few cocktails while Grandma Diane stayed in the room with 2 sleeping babies! 

Saturday, Mya woke up bright and early!  She had slept in the bedroom with 2 double beds.  Mya was in one while Daddy was in the other.  Matt told me she was up between 3-4am (which is extremely rare for her) and kept sitting up and staring at him.  When I asked her why she said, "There was a dog in the room!"  Hmmmm.... perhaps a snoring dog (AKA Daddy!).  Luke and I slept in the living room.  He did great... sticking to his 9-6 sleep schedule!  After getting dressed and eating breakfast, we headed to the beach!  Mya was a little timid at first but ended up loving it!  From there we headed to lunch, ice cream, some fun on the carousel, pizza at Joy's house, sliding on an awesome slide, and then finally.... back to the room for some much needed rest!!!!

Overall, it was a great weekend with a great family!
I have so much admiration for the closeness of Matt's family!  Thanks for the memories! 
Our family dressed up and ready for dinner (we had a little grouch on our hands after 2 days of no nap!)
Luke... ready to hit the beach!

Luke and Jameson couldn't take all the fun!
Mya LOVED the waterslide at Cousin Joy's house! We didn't have her suit so she wore Quentin's undies!

I couldn't resist! She looked a little trashy with her undies as a swimsuit...
so why not add a beer to REALLY make her look white trash!?!?! 
After a long day, Luke was ready for night night!

And so was Mya!
