Fourth of July

So this is a little late, but....

We had a wonderful day for the 4th of July! Another great day in Port Austin.  

We all got dressed in our red, white and blue!

 It was quite warm as we headed to the parade. 

But had a great location thanks to my friend Becky!

 Cole Cubitt and Bryn sat so nicely waiting and watching the parade.

 Gotta love Huron County parades!  Several tractors go by!

 Bryn enjoyed taking the bean bags back and forth and putting them

 in the hole.  Once she even fell in herself!

 Chocolate covered pretzel sparklers were a HUGE hit, especially with Bryn!

Bryn and Mumma on their way to the beach

 Blowing bubbles!

 Love this pic of Bryn and Marley - both experiencing pure joy!

 Norah Brining and Bryn on the beach together.  Planning a sandcastle?

 RUNNING!

 The girls laid in the grass together and were giggling and playing with their toes - so cute!

 We got out some sparklers while we waited for the fireworks to start.

Mumma got brave and let Bryn hold it by herself...only for a hot second!

 All the adults ready for the show

 Bryn and her dad watching the fireworks.  She enjoyed them and was not 
afraid of the noise.  Although I think she would have preferred them to be a 
little shorter, but she was great for being so far past her bedtime!

A few shots of the finale!


Thanks everyone for coming and for such a great day!

Catching up with our busy June!

So with a new kitchen to move into, an 18 month old, two online courses, and all of the other projects and adventures that Port Austin, Michigan have brought to us, my blogging has taken a back seat.  So, here is an update on a few of the things that we have been up to since arriving in MI!

 Bryn got her first golf lesson from her dad.

Not a bad shot, baby girl!

 Playing with her "new" toys in the backyard.  Drive the boat like dad!

 Yes, we are in Huron County, so everyone should have a tractor!

She loves running around in the grass.

 We went to the Bad Axe City Park with Luke and Torri.

 Bryn and Luke loved the slides!

 My college roommate, Tammy, came to visit with her kids.  This was Bryn with Kennah.

 All the kids together on the floor - Carter, Kennah, Bryn, and Marley

 We went to the Detroit area to visit the Cubitts.  Cole and Bryn got to snuggle on a bike ride.

And after dinner was bath time!

 Bryn walking around in Mumma's life jacket and water shoes.

 Brian and I got new toys - paddleboards.  Bryn likes to go out with us. 

 Here is Bryn on her way out with her dad.

 Such a nice Daddy-daughter moment

 Marley on his way to welcome them back.

 All done for today

Brian has been taking flight lessons.  Just the other day he flew around the Thumb and was able to fly over our house.  He is the small plane at the end of the branch!
