After a long, but smooth trip home to the US, we went down to my sister, Heidi's, apartment in Indiana to pick up our Suburu (Thanks so much for driving us Anne!!). We had a great time driving up to MI all together the next day, including Christina and Fink! Heidi had prepared a yummy picnic lunch for us to eat on the way (though there was plenty of snacking going on as well!).
Our first full day in Elk Rapids we went to the beach! Ruby just loved playing in the sand and water. She didn't seem to mind the cold water at all, though her teeth got chattering pretty good after a while! Heidi and Christina didn't get too much time to enjoy the sun though as Ruby had to hurry home for her beauty rest!
After we bundled Ruby up, she was ready to roll again! Until nap time, that is!
A few days later, Dad was able to drive up to see us all. The day that he visited we went to Charlevoix for dunch and shopping, then spent the rest of the afternoon on the jet skis. The water was too rough for me, but Dad and Heidi couldn't get enough!
Grandpa and Ruby had a fun time looking at toys and books while the rest of us ate lunch.
Kay had to resort to blowing bubbles to get Ruby to let us have this family picture--it's a bit corny, but that's okay. Our time together was short, but sweet. Filled up with lots of game playing and chit chat. I hope that it isn't another year before we're together again!
