On July 4, after a few days at home from the Kaisand vaca, we headed out for the Van Grouw reunion in Michigan! We set out Sunday after morning church and not sure how far we'd make it!
pit stop in Illinois
Oh, please!
We decided to stop in Michigan City in the afternoon to go exploring!
We settled into our hotel right away.
First stop was the pool to get rid of some energy from driving that day.
We found out that there would be fireworks shot off from the beach around 9:00 so we decided to explore and check it out! We happened to cross the bridge that was opening to let boats go through!
RIGHT on Lake Michigan - couldn't've done better even if we planned it!
We had a great time playing in the sand, walking in the water, and people watching before the fireworks.
On Monday, July 5, we drove into Michigan and headed to my Aunt Ruth's million dollar cottage to spend the afternoon there as a pre-reunion.
We promised the girls McDs for breakfast and they were thrilled!
WOW - Lake Michigan with NO ONE around! Totally private beach-front property!
Walking through the sand dunes to the cottage up the stairs.
