Summer Trip to MI, KY & GA...

Being tourists...


A day on Uncle Duane's farm

Farmer Webb
Part of the fam on the hayride
 The rest of us...

 Who knew he is a farmer in disguise? 



 Mother & the boys
Most of the core family...where are you Dane?
after lunch at the waterfront...
 Em & Ms. Seacord hamming it up!
The second annual catch-up lunch...
 Just a little bit sassy...
Uncle Darren & the kids!
Gram and the grands~
On our way south, we ran into this big guy!  Em was petrified!
Look what this dino ate for lunch!
Exhausted...reminds me of a scene from King Kong
Touring the caves
We only managed two of the four hundred miles
 Beautiful scenery
 Butterscotch falls...deep below the surface

aptly named - less than 30 inches wide in some places

  On the way out of the cave

We made it to Georgia!
Cousin time!


Brother & Sister love!
  Emerson is holding her own against the big minis...
 Deep thoughts...

 Sullivan & Emerson...

 Viewing the world from the other side

 Before the completion of my first half marathon...


Catching up with the girls


Doing the putt-putt thing...Cousin style
There is a pirate in the cave.  Who knew?
 The three youngest cousins
See you after the next big adventure!

a little bit of this & a little bit of that...in Michigan

We arrived in Michigan to sunny, low humidity, 70 degree weather! Perfect blue skies!
 
 
 Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore... simply amazing

Mountain Climbers
a long way to go...
 
A small plateau
 
One of many "tops" but there was another mile to go to get to the lakeshore...
Grandma K has some huge Irisies in her yard! Some were taller than W & E!



Shayground has lots of fun places to burn energy!

Uncle Daryl explaining the finer points of gardening
 Visit to the Thorne Swift Nature Preserve
 The Little Mermaid

Webb got to experience his first "NASCAR" experience...
 Sitting in the driver's seat or in jail?
 Webb & Mr. Bud lifting the car...
