More pictures from our trip to the USA!

Sooner or later I'll be up to date on these posts, but I'm afraid it's later than today! I have oodles of great pictures from our second week in MI, so take a peek.

We managed to hit the beach a few times while we were visiting. The first weekend we were in Elk Rapids they were having an aft festival with quite a few tents set up along the walk between the parking lot and the beach. Nana enjoyed showing off her little cutie pie as they perused the stalls. Ruby really did stop traffic a few times with that adorable grass skirt!


Jared and Ruby really loved Bobo's new "hog". By the end of the visit Bobo was getting more comfortable with his Harley-Davidson. I think it may be a bit longer before Kay trusts him enough to climb on though!


Ruby's Aunt Alyssa got her this cute dress back when she was living in Brasil. I kept thinking that it looked WAY too big for her, but it actually fits her just right! I'm glad I didn't wait any longer! With the heat wave we've been having since we came back to Denmark, she'll be getting plenty of use out of it! As you can see from the picture, Ruby STILL doesn't want to walk on her own very often. She is getting quite good at "solo walking", but still prefers to call walking a team sport.


Ruby loved having her cousin, Caleb, around. At 2 years old and twice her weight, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with. This picture shows how they play best--with Nana in the middle! Really they did get along just fine. It will be fun to see them together in another year--then Ruby will be able to give Caleb a run for his money!


As with every trip back to the good 'ol USA, we enjoyed a few ymmuy meals out. Now that Nana doesn't have her shop anymore, she really did have almost all of our menus planned, but we managed to sneak this trip to Burger King in on "picture day" at Sears. The poor kids were made to wait an hour past our appointment (through lunch, without a morning nap, of course!) to get their pictures taken. So, these nuggets were a hard earned prize! Thankfully, we did manage to get a few cute shots.

Well, that's all for today. Next on the docket--Ruby's first haircut--stay tuned!
