Way Up North

















We were able to get away for a long weekend recently to visit with Nates Aunt Carol and her friend Shelia.  Carol lives on Lake Leelanau, which is about 30 minutes past Traverse City.  Nate and I have always enjoyed the area where her place is, it is beautiful!!  We were able to enjoy many of the areas attractions, good food, and ice cream.  The boys thought it was fun to spend a day in "their towns" (Leland and Suttons Bay).  Carol told us about a very nice beach in Empire, so we enjoyed an afternoon there after doing the big hill climb at Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.  The boys also kept Carol busy with fishing.  Our last evening there we enjoyed a camp fire on the beach of Lake Michigan.  Of course as we have experienced at the end of our other trips no one really wanted to come home, especially Sutton who even asked Carol if he could stay with her!!  Thanks Carol and Shelia for letting us stay with you, we all had a great time (evident by all the pictures)!!
