September 2011

In September we took a trip to the Sister Lakes in Michigan and met up with Grandma & Grandpa Greaney, Aunt Nell & Mike, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Michelle, Autumn, & Dean. It was a nice relacing weekend on a quiet lake.

Spent a little time fishing off the pier.

And some time fishing on the boat. Even picked up Kendall's very first fishing rod. She ended up catching several fish, both real live fish as well as plastic. Really, the fish were facinating - she didn't mind reaching out and touching them (more than I can say for myself - I made Nate get the fish off the hooks, yuck). Kendall would wake up in the morning and ask to go outside and go fishing, and since we got back has asked numerous times to go fishing with Grandpa. I think she has found a new favorite pasttime.

We also spent some quality time crusing around on the pontoon boat in the lake. Kendall loved the wind in her hair and checking out the other boats. She even got a chance to "drive" the boat, with a little help, of course. All those boat days at swim class paid off and she didn't even complain about the life jacket.

There was even a chance to go into South Haven and see the beach. Kendall did not really dig the beach, apparently sand is not one of her favorite things. But it was a beautiful day and we got to see both Lake Michigan and a very cool local farmers market in town.

It was a nice relaxing weekend away, and those sunsets in Michigan really do look like the comericals.
