Bacation

My parents took us (the mitchen fam) and my sister's fam to Michigan for a week this year for vacation... or Bacation, as Ellie called it.  We had a blast.  We rented a house on Diamond Lake--about an hour north of South Bend, IN.  We had a pontoon boat for the week (which means we never saw Craig--he was fishing 24/7!) and spent lots of time outside swimming, boating, jet skiing, and RELAXING.

Here were some of the highlights:

• Boat rides
• St Joe's, MI (day trip to the awesome beach there)
• Lunker's (think local bass pro shop--kids LOVED it)
• Visiting w/ Greg & Patti
• Throwing rocks in the lake (seriously the girls could do this ALL DAY EVERY DAY)
• Mostly gorgeous, not too hot weather
• Relaxing around the house & deck
• Swimming in the spring fed lake water 
• Taking Ellie to her first movie

Here's some pics:
