These are from our Canada trip in early June, but I just got them from Tamara. How lucky are we to have a professional, amazing photographer as a Canada bestie?! Our friends Meghan and Randy hosted us and all the Daubs for a summer BBQ over at their place. It was so fun and special to get all of our kiddos together ... all eight of them!  Enjoy :) Having fun with his Canadian pals Gavin and Tighe (Meghan and Randy's oldest) Gavin back with his bud, Addy. They are so adorable together all the time. (I think she is 8 now) Z enjoys a homemade popsicle courtesy of Meghan. Baby pool play and then this happened...the kids got into the dress up and so did S :) G so happy to be a Ninja Turtle! And there they are (Henry, Gavin, Tighe and Greyson in the front with Addy holding Zoe and Bailey holding Nola in the back). And as Tamara said, every super kid has to have super parents!

The last weekend of our MI visit I was able to sneak away up north with the other bridesmaids for Caitlin's bachelorette weekend! She asked if I could plan a weekend in Traverse City for her, and it ended up being a success minus one crisis averted early on...ask Caitlin if you need your id in Traverse City for wine tours and going out ;) We had a cute three bedroom AirBNB rental that was close to downtown. On Friday we stayed in, played games, messed around with our handmade photo booth, and enjoyed a taco bar and cake. I made sure we had breakfast casseroles for both mornings and packed lunches for our wine tour the second day. The ladies made sure we had lots of snacks and of course drinks. Saturday we made our way to four wineries via a wine tour and had the afternoon to rest up. We dolled ourselves up for Saturday night, grabbed dinner out then made our way to a bar then a dance club. I was out and up late two nights in a row and survived ... my college past self would be ...

We have had a busy and eventful MI visit so far! We went to the wedding of my friend who I have known the longest, and it was beautiful! I couldn't be happier for her. We also got to shower Caitlin for her wedding, and I'm getting ready to host her bachelorette party up north in MI this weekend! In between we've had family time, games, a bounce house trip, a trip to the 4-H to relive my past :) , a bonfire, wagon rides and lots of outdoor time that we can't get in Phoenix at this time of year. It's been a blast! Pics to share ... The BEST when she sleeps on the plane rides :)
