So, on Thursday night, on the spur of the moment, John and I decided to drive 5 hours after work on Friday to go to Grand Haven, MI, to visit my aunt and uncle... so we did! We packed the car, picked up the boys from day care, and left! We'd told Caleb of our plans at breakfast, and he was so excited... and was squealing with excitement when we picked him up! :) We left Fri, and came back Sat (just a quick 24 hr trip) but it was really, really fun. And, we came back with a new bike for Caleb (my uncle owns his own bike shop) and a new bike trailer for me! YEAH! :)
These are our pictures of our time at the beach, about a mile from their house. It was their first time, and for the most part, they loved the sand.. the water was a little chilly for this time of year, but it was perfect for hopping in and cooling off.

We made a little pool for Matthew, and he was happy as a clam (literally!). He just played in the sand-pool, and Caleb, my aunt Lydia (who is pretty cool; you can see her pouring water in the sand-pool) and I just played around right next to the boys while John took a long walk. It was relaxing just to chill in the sun and sand.

Caleb, getting warmed up by the sand. We'd just taken him in the water.

Family pic.. Super fun times.

Lovely. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation. Such cute boys!!
Looks like a lot of fun. Glad you guys took advantage of being close to vacation spot.
You did a 5-hour trip on the spur of the moment with two little guys, twice in 24 hours? You go down in my book of heroes!! Crazy kids -- but how nice that you did that. Enjoyed seeing pics of you all at the beach. Enjoy every moment with your little guys that you can -- they grow up so quickly, and you're building precious memories.
Oh, oops! To clarify:
we decided to go on Thursday.
We left on Friday.
We came back on Saturday. :)
We definitely aren't heroes.. maybe a little crazy, though! :)
