Mini Vacation

Every year or summer we plan a vacation. This year because of the adoption funds are tight so we had to plan something small. We went away last weekend to Michigan City in Indiana. We were 6 blocks from lake Michigan and went to the beach. We also visited the dunes which were huge and interesting. We stayed in a cabin with no TV or no internet. Also no one in our family has data phones so we had a nice time just talking and spending time together.

We all loved the beach. I had so much fun in the waves. I kept thinking of Rocky though. I kept thinking what would he think of all this water and the jumping in the waves. I saw all these children playing in the sand and picking up rocks. All I kept thinking was what would Rocky like to do if he was here. I brought his picture with us and put it on the fridge.

We saw so many wild animals. There was a six point deer about 10 ft away from us. Sommer and I just watched him as he walked by. We also had nightly visitors that ate all of Titans and Pebbles food. So the next night we were prepared. I took my camera out and flashed my red light out in the bushes and I bet I saw 4 pairs of eyes out there. Then I saw this one in the open. I don't think he needs any more food

We loved the family time. Here are some pictures of the time we spent together. Family is so important. My kids are everything to me.
