Michigan, the land of milk and honey

Paige and the kids took off for Michigan in June for 7 weeks.

They love Michigan.  Paige gets to see her family, and the kids get to live the country life.  Lots of outdoors, adventures in the woods with Grandpa, mud, frogs, skunks.  Don't get much of that in Gilbert Arizona.

Rub a dub dub, five kids in a dump bucket.

Other than a sand pile, this might be Luke's favorite place... all you can eat berries.

Sophie, trying to sneak into Paige's bed.

"What Mom?"

Luke and Cousin Isaac, making some sort of dirt concoction.

Levi and Noah turned 7 while they were there.  Hard to believe they are 7 already.

Noah turning on the charm, for a very worthy purchase I might add.

Fishing is always a kid favorite.

As is frog hunting in the creek behind the house.

There is always a treat somewhere in Michigan to eat.

Lake Michigan, another summer favorite.

Digging up some long buried bones with Grandpa.  I think we finally decided it was a cow.

Grandpa built them a pretty cool treehouse.

And a wicked rope swing.

Always "farm" chores to do.

Another successful summer in Michigan!
