My Michigan Boy

Sean was all boy this past weekend when we went Up North to Scott's parent's lake house.  From cars and boats to fishing and worms, he was all smiles all weekend.  While the weather wasn't the best, we couldn't complain since we were able to fit in some sun, sand, and water sports while enjoying great company and good food.

Saturday had a chilly start to the day, but that didn't stop us.  We put Sean in a fleece jacket and headed down to the beach for Pops to teach him how to fish.  Nana and Papa had bought him his own fishing pole with Cars, the movie, characters on it.  It even made sounds when you cast the line!  While Sean wasn't a huge fan of the worm or the fish itself, he seemed to really enjoy the process.  Here's a few action shots of Sean's fishing experiences this weekend:

Sunday rained all morning and early afternoon!  We were beginning to think the whole day was a lost cause, but I'm glad we held out and kept ourselves busy with Euchre games and a Walmart trip in town because when it cleared up it was beautiful!  Sean did a little swimming in his diaper since it was a last minute decision to let him go in the water and these were my absolute favorite shots of the whole weekend.  We BBQ'd ribs for dinner, which Sean ate with gusto while sharing with Dixie and we finished the evening by playing some ladder ball and having a bonfire and s'mores - all of which Sean stayed up for!

Monday was the best weather day of all, but we had to leave around Sean's nap time so we could get home while he was sleeping and still have time to get things ready for another work week.  So, we scarfed down breakfast and headed out to the sand bar to get some swimming in.  I sat on the boat, of course.  Someone has to take pictures!

Thank you to Nana and Pops for having us up for the weekend and for giving us such a great family weekend!  Sean is ready for some more fishing and tractor rides this summer!
