The past 2 weeks I was home in grand rapids hanging out with family and friends. What a blast! I was there from the 22nd to the 7th of july.

I got to go up to Charlevoix and hang out with family for a week. Although the weather was a bit cruddy, we made the best of it. We took some of the kids to Avalanche Bay Indoor Water Park for the day. I am not sure who had more fun on the slides, Taylor or me. We had church on the beach (complete with a kids program and all).

Drew and I spent the weekend at the Devries Home. Family is such a blessing. We celebrated Father's Day by hanging out at the pool. The men also got to go golfing. As you see in the pictures above, Sam is growing so much! Drew and I both were able to hold him. He is so precious.

We spent the 4th of July at the Huizinga Cottage with our friends. Friends are also such a blessing! We had an absolute blast on the pontoon boat, swimming in the lake, and having fun conversations.

All in all, a wonderful trip home!
