Weekend Getaway!

We took a little weekend getaway as a family in October. We spent one night at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. The kids loved it!
Eliza was all over the 'big and fast' waterslides and walking across the lilly pads.


Hailey was content going down the smaller slides and floating around in the lazy river.

Ava loves slides in general so going down a water slide was like a dream come true! She had so much fun going down the kiddie slide over and over again.

Running down the hall in the hotel...time for more swimming!





Sleeping Bear Dunes. Eliza and Hailey were all over playing in the sand.





Ava HATED the sand. Shane would try and set her down to walk and she'd lift her feet up like this. Too bad all of our activities after Great Wolf Lodge centered around the sand dunes and the beach!







Hailey and Eliza running down the sand hill after doing the 100 ft dune climb.








Sunday afternoon picnic on the beach in Ludington. Ava keeping her feet out of the sand at all costs.










Sunset by the lighthouse in Lundington.









Is that gorgeous or what?!

That was quite a sight. I loved it!
