Our Trip to Grand Haven

We had a great trip to Grand Haven, Michigan earlier this month. We stayed at a house right on Lake Michigan not too far from where Aunt Jacey and Paul live. It was the four of us, Aunt Jacey, Paul, and Gramma & Grampa. We had such a great time. The girls had fun on the beach everyday. They both loved playing in the sand and splashing in the water. Avery found lots of little girls to play with and Sierra had a great time digging in the sand (and eating a little too). We were also just a few blocks away from the marina where Paul has his boat so we were able to go over there and use the pool and hang out with Aunt Jacey and Paul's friends and their little girls. We also spent a little time in downtown Grand Haven which is a cute little town with lots of shops and restaurants. And one day while we were shopping we found out that the coach of The Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins was in town so we went over and met him and got his autograph. Then the next day Cory, Jacey & Gramma went back and got to see the Stanley Cup. It was pretty exciting! Here are just a few of the pictures we took of all the fun we had. Enjoy!

Happy Days

Here are some pictures from a couple of fun days we had this week. It is so great that Sierra can get around on her own now. She just wants to explore everything. And Avery is little Miss Social. Everywhere we go she makes a friend. She just walks up to anyone who appears to be around her age and just says, "Hi, I'm Avery, Wanna play?" It is so funny, considering how timid she used to be. The first pictures are from the playground here in Spencer, which is always a good time. Avery made a friend named Olivia and they were so busy pretending to go on some wild adventure.









The next pictures are from Playtown Express, an indoor playplace. Sierra had so much fun climbing and jumping on everything. She loved the jump house although she wasn't on her feet for very long. She also tried many, many times to follow Avery up the big 18 foot inflatable slide, but, unfortunatley, I had to stop her. She was not very happy about that. Oh well, maybe next time. Avery had fun running around with a little girl named Ryan and then when she had to leave Avery immediately made another friend named Kailey. They had fun running around dressed up like princesses. It was such a good time!
