We took the kids to Michigan for a long weekend before the start of school. We left on Friday morning and headed to Silver Lake, MI to take dune buggy rides. This was definitely a highlight of the trip and we all had so much fun! We will definitely be doing this again at some point.
On our dune buggy!
We took the ride to Lake Michigan and were able to get out and play in the water for a bit. Emery was soaked within seconds and the kids loved playing in the sand.
After our dune buggy ride, we decided to do go-karts. Connor chose to ride on the ones that he could drive himself. He was able to do it 2 times and was the only one there. They let him go around the track about 500 times!
Elli and Emery wanted Scott to drive them around on the big track. Since Emery was just shy of her 2nd birthday, they let her get on. Although it doesn't look like it, she was so excited!
After go-karts, we headed an hour south to Grand Haven (where we were staying). We walked around the town for a bit and got dinner and ice cream.
Emery was beyond excited that she got her own ice cream cone.
After ice cream, we headed back to the hotel to swim before bed.
We rented a pontoon boat on Saturday morning. We got a late start to the day, as Emery didn't wake up until 10am. We got on the boat around 11 and stayed on it until around 6 at night. The kids had a blast and now Scott is wanting a boat soon!
They loved helping Scott drive!
Connor went tubing for the first time. He loved it and spent most of the time doing this. He kept saying 'faster, faster.'
Tubing again! Elli loved going, but always wanted to go with Connor.
Emery also wanted to give tubing a try! She enjoyed it!

We had plans to go to the state park on Sunday morning, but woke up to storms. We decided to spend the morning in the pool...then did some shopping on our way home! We had a great time and loved Grand Haven! We'd love to go back for a long weekend....maybe next year!
