We just returned from our annual Labor Day trip to Michigan! Every year we meet some of Nate's high school friends and their families somewhere in the U.S. At first we hopped around a bit but the last couple years we have rented a house in New Buffalo, MI near Lake Michigan. It was a blast! The kids all play so well together and the adults have a lot of fun too! The house we rent has a pool in the backyard, a clearing in the woods for a campfire and enough bedrooms for each family to have their own! Yes, that means that Nate and I and all 3 of our kids squeeze into one bedroom...picture a bed with just enough space around it for 3 sleeping bags. =) It works! One morning the guys went golfing (As they do every year) and the same afternoon the girls go shopping at the nearby outlet mall. I was pretty successful with the shopping as usual! Every night we play a "Newlywed Game" that Russ and Shanan bring. This year Shanan had the best idea...she had a trophy made for the winner to bring home with them. Nate and I are bound and determined to eventually bring that trophy home...but this year it went to the Douma's! =) We are glad to be home but also look forward to next year!
