Last week we traveled up to Glen Lake to visit family. We had a great time catching up and Lydia was quite popular. It was nice for Lydia to meet some of her family for the first time.

Lydia is always very excited to see Grandma and this trip was no different. What was different was Lydia's excitement level around her new BFF Boris - a German Shepherd. She has been asking for Boris daily since we returned. Other things that Lydia enjoyed while visiting northern Michigan include driving aunt Barb's boat*, playing in the sand, seeing a mouse hunt, hearing her dad and his cousin Kevin have very deep philosophical conversations, meeting Grandma Great, and going to the Totem....Shop. Lydia has also been saying "sorry, no R's" and "daily double" but we aren't quite sure what this is about**.

*Thank you Barb for taking us out in the boat!!
