Once again we spent our summer vacation in our home town of Grand Haven, Michigan. Grand Haven is a beautiful, small town, that fills up to capacity during the summer months. It is situated on Lake Michigan and is a beautiful place to spend the summer. We are lucky to have both our parents in the Grand Haven/Spring Lake area as well as a lot of extended family and friends. My brother, Chad, his wife, Kimberly, and their four children spent their summer vacation in Grand Haven as well. Since we only see them twice a year, we spent the majority of time with them. Allison and her cousin Kendall were pretty much inseparable for the entire 10 days. We had a lot of fun going to the beach, eating at our favorite restaurants, watching the kids swim, going to Chicago with the girls, and just enjoying each others company. Although we were all ready to get back to our "normal" routines, we all miss each other like crazy the minute they drive back to Texas. In my opinion, Chad and Kimberly are saints for making the drive to GH each summer with their FOUR children who range in age from 9 months to 7. We savor the time that we spend with them each summer.
