First game of Fall - Game 6

This Saturday was the first game of the fall season. Meg didn't really get into the game. Her team has a little problem with kids not showing up so they had to take a member of the other team to field a group of four. Maybe next week we will have more players and Meg will have the Mia Hamm thing going like the spring.

Zach in Lake Michigan

This Labor day we made a trip up to Great Grandma. The weather was amazing despite the dire predictions of various AMA certified weather men so we were able to get into the water each day. First day first beach. It was a bit windy and the water was freezing so we were mainly putting our feet in and playing in the sand. Zach put his feet in and then fell in the water and got all wet. He then stood up and ran out of the water while laughing and saying, ""I deep! I go deep!"" This played out over and over all weekend long just solidifying that we have a little ham on our hands.

First Potty

Zach did his first tinkle on the potty. He was pretty proud of himself and is loving wearing pullups around the house.

Zach Battle Wounds

This afternoon Zach while in the throws of a temper tantrum had a run in with a concrete sidewalk... the sidewalk won.

What a vacation

What a perfect shot to make a mother cry.

We spent a week at Great Grandma's Platte Lake in Beulah, MI. We had a great time visiting all of our favorite spots like Elberta's Beach and Sleepy Bear Sand Dunes. We also found a new favortie beach at the end of Esche Road. It had a creek that both Meg and Zach had a great time playing in the rocks and with some little creatures.

Zach said his favorite part of the week was playing with his cousins, the Spanglers, who were visting Great Grandma's as well. Meg's favorite thing was tubing when Uncle Todd and his son Tanner came over to take out the boat.

Another thing that made this trip special is that we met up with some friends from Chicago so Meg had a friend that she could show around some of her favorite spots like the dune climb. Also we all spent a rainy morning in a cool place called Bounce Arena.
