The holy land

Paige and the kids spent about 4 weeks in Michigan. They love it because they get to hang out in the country and pretend that they aren't big city kids for a few weeks. I like it because I get to pretend that our house always stays this nice and tidy when everyone is around. ;)

Our kids are apparently getting braver, since they were actually excited to get dragged around on a tube behind a boat.

The two year olds havin' a hollerin' contest.


How many kids can you fit in the van? Paige always gets to spend some quality time with her BFF Joy, when they plan exactly which of our kids will be marrying which of their kids.


Luke began practicing his driving skills. Seriously, when I showed up a few weeks later he hopped right in that thing and started driving like he'd been doing it for years!


There is always lot's of time spent in the garden picking fresh veggies to eat. Levi loves all the plants and seeds he finds everywhere. And Grandpa probably spends the rest of the year wondering why on earth he's got plants sprouting up at random locations around the yard, since Levi plants every seed he finds to see what it will grow into.


Fishing is always a favorite summer activity. However, this trip to Millenium Park sent the entire Meyer clan to the porcelain throne, since there was a norovirus outbreak at the park when they were there.


He apparently learned to drive a quad as well. That one could be trouble someday.


Noah successfully kept his pants dry for 10 nights in a row, and earned himself a piddle pinata party.


They went blueberry pickin'.


Luke obviously didn't get the concept of "ripe." We are actually starting to wonder if that kid is colorblind, since he cannot seem to keep his colors straight.


A successful summer vacation in the holy land.
