Vacation!!!

My husband's Aunt and Uncle live in White Lake, Michigan and family came from many different corners of the country to get together for a vacation. Our days consisted of shopping at the mall, hanging out by the pool, checking out the Henry Ford Museum, catching frogs, playing with the doggies, and eating. Lots and lots of eating!! Nights consisted of - more food (of course), karaoke singing, drinking Uncle Curt's wine collection, playing insanely fun card games, and lots of laughter. Midway in to our trip Uncle Curt planned a romantic date for me and my husband. He lit all his tikki torches by their amazing pool and patio and set up his hot tub for us to have some quiet time under the stars after Benjamin fell asleep. I told Jeff as we walked down to the picturesque scene that it looked like something out of the Bachelor (or Bachelorette). We were treated like royalty the entire time. It was clear that Uncle Curt and Aunt Renee thought of everything possible to keep everyone comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Our room had a basket full of snacks and not just a little basket with peanuts and juice, but a basket packed with the good stuff. Candy, crackers, waffers, beverages, and pretzels. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. :-)

The best part of everything was just being able to spend quality time with family. Being able to play together was what I appreciated most. The week flew by and soon it was time to head back to Oregon. I'm so thankful for this trip and we thank Uncle Curt and Aunt Renee for being such wonderful hosts.

Pool time!
