July 4th

We enjoyed a beautiful July 4th weekend at the Ferwerda's lakehouse.  The weather was absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful time catching up with friends, and Jackson got to play with Hailey.  He loved pushing the lawnmower and wheelbarrow, digging in the sand, playing in the pool, and going for rides on the boat.

Michigan!

Going to Michigan with Sarah's family has always been one of our favorite things about summer.  Now we know it is one of Jackson's favorite things too!  He loved being at the beach!

Hannah was a great helper since Jackson didn't quite understand that the water could knock him over!

He LOVED digging and raking in the sand.  The more sand that covered him, the better!

Our happy little family.
