Family Vaca 2013

June was full of travel, family, and loads of good times! 

Liam and I spent several days in Valpo with my folks.  He even snuck in a lawn mower ride with Mimsie! 

Then Matt flew in, and we enjoyed some time in Indy with his family. 

We spent the next week hanging out on a lake in Cassopolis, Michigan with extended family on my mom’s side.  At one point there were 31 of us living together in the same house!  Thank goodness it was huge. 

Gma, I mustache you a question.  : ) 

As a last minute surprise, my sister Hannah showed up—hitting a deer and getting pulled over by a cop on the way.  In her defense, it was a crazy day and the cop had mercy on her after hearing about the deer incident.  We’re so glad she was able to come up for a few days!

Those curls…I guess humidity is good for something! 

Our founding fathers…

Sunning on the lake with my sisters—definitely a highlight! 

The lovely Lennon.

Gpa’s buddy.

A little too much birthday excitement…

Oh, how I love this one of Lennon and Simon!

The classic “all the kiddos on the couch in their pjs”—I love these photos!  Thanks for the adorable shark jammies, AJ!  For the record, I’m dying over how well-behaved Harper and Lennon are in these pics.  They were so focused on their reward!  : ) 

And although they’re not pictured, the maple pecan doughnuts from the local Amish bakery were divine! 

The last night of our trip was spent back in Indy, where we lived it up at the Westin Hotel downtown on the circle.  Matt and I enjoyed a morning walk along the canal (how in the world did I not know this existed?!), and Liam spent some quality time with Aunt Rach, Mimsie, and Popsie in the pool. 

We cherish these times with family, as living 17 hours away makes them harder to come by.  As always, I wish I had taken more photos, but my hands tend to be fuller these days!  : )  Hope you’re all having a wonderful summer!
