Adventures in La La Land

1. I have a confession to make . . . I've started thinking about school in the fall. 😬 We got the kids' school supply lists this week, and when I noticed sales on markers and crayons and notebooks while I was grocery shopping, I started checking things off the list. We found out who Levi's teacher will be, and I got the staff in-service date on my calendar. We start a week later than most of the public schools, but that's still only a month away!

On Thursday we had another Cousin Day. Unfortunately Libby and Rieley had sick kids so they couldn't come. The rest of us packed up and headed to the big lake! We don't make the trek often, so Levi didn't really remember what Lake Michigan is like. I told him it's kind of like the ocean in Florida, except it's not salt...
