Bruinius family vacation

I had been looking forward to a week in sisters lake michigan. We vacationed there when I was a child a couple of times. I have gone back to visit several times for day trips. I really love the area. After a week of 90 degree weather the week before I thought we were golden. However, we had some really crappy weather. We arrived sunday to a beautiful day and a very warm lake. It was an afternoon of swimming, boat rides, and a bonfire. Monday was decently warm and sunny. We had another day of swimming but the lake had cooled off a bit. Tues, Wed, and thur were cold (in the 60's) and rainy. big bummer! tues we took the kids to get coloring books and playdough. We went to sophias pancake house for an incredible lunch. The rest of the day was pretty boring. Wed we went into southhaven for some shopping (nothing too exciting there) and had another good lunch. Thur dave and I spend the day driving around town visiting the different places. Dave golfed on monday and tues (his 2nd and 3rd time only) and really enjoyed it. James, Dave, Doug, Ava, Faith, and Ray attempted a chartered fishing trip on the St. Joe 3 times but the weather just wouldnt cooperate. Thur night we celebrated all the june and july birthdays with a pinata and cupcakes. (happy birthday gram, ben, james, gise, pam, patti, grandpa, and ava) Fri we had some visitors and it was finally nice out.... still a little cloudy but we would take anything at this point. Sat was another crappy day so we headed home instead of waiting and waking up sun morning to leave. We stopped at kelseys for dinner and it was great! The week was relaxing but the weather didnt allow us to have as much fun. We never had a chance for bean bag tournament or badminton or tubing. We did make a 1000 piece puzzle though. Enjoy the pictures...
