Wonderful weekend in Muskegon

This past weekend we took our first camping trip to Duck Creek Resort. It was wonderful, beautiful camping- minus the dirt! The campground had a nice pool, and we had beautiful weather to go with it.

 One side of the pool was a shallow kid pool and the other side was deeper and there was also a hot tub attached. The best part was all of the lounge chairs, and our first day there Rachel and I were lucky enough to have all the kids leave with their dad's and we were able to have some adult girl time in the sun.

 Saturday we went to Duck Lake State Park. We were able to sit on the beach all day overlooking Lake Michigan. There was a shallow little canal that the kids could play in, sand dunes they could climb and fun waves in Lake Michigan too.

We were also lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma come meet us for the day. The girls were exhausted by the end of this day on the beach. Tay had some cuddle time with Grandpa.

The kids all climbed the dunes several times. I have no idea how because the sand was so hot it burnt my feet. But we did get some good pictures.

Sunday we headed down to Grand Haven for the day. The kids still enjoyed every minute of the beach.

Silly girls, I couldn't get a serious pose all day!

We walked out the the pier and got to watch a ton of boats. What a great vacation with the O'Mara's.

The kids were all over the place, trying to look over the edge so we made them hold hands. Later when we walked back down we were watching all kids of people jump off the pier so we let them try too! I had to be the first one in to test the water and the depth!

After the beach we went downtown to try and find somewhere to eat. Along the way the girls stopped to add their name to the chalk board.

Of all the choices of places to eat we choose a small little restaurant overlooking the channel so we could watch the boats. What a great family vacation. I can't wait to go back.

Monday we went to Michigan's Adventure. It was Jenna, Brad's and the O'Mara's first time. We had a blast. Our first stop was the whale ride! Jenna LOVED it.

The monsters after riding their first rollar coaster, the Big Dipper!

Again they are all silly. Giving the peace sign.

After a long day at the park- tons of rides and water slides we stopped for ice cream.

Good bye Snoopy.

Blake, Max and Bryce.

Such a long exciting weekend. Jenna crashed out on the way home (with Lulu).

For some reason this picture was out of order, but Rachel was Tay's buddy this weekend and everyday they liked to plan what they were going to wear that was the same or similar. So they had jean shorts, tank tops, brades and hats.

This will be a hard trip to top.
