Otter Creek

We made our way to Otter Creek with the Ratajczak and Hughes family to enjoy the sunset!  It was a beautiful, hot evening!!

Drive In!

Our annual drive in movie this year was The Secret Life of Pets!  Kids loved it :)

Soccer camp & Crystal Lake

They boys enjoyed a free soccer camp in Benzonia in Mid-July and afterwards we took advantage of some sunset swims on Crystal Lake.  Jacob went to the Tigers game with his grandparents Monday - Thursday, so he was only able to join us on Thursday but he had a great time!

The Ratajczaks new boat!

Amazing moon rise, the pic does not do it justice!

Glen Lake

We decided to venture out to Glen Lake on Sunday, July 10th.  There was a heavy law enforcement presence in a search and recovery effort for a man that had drowned earlier in the week and thankfully they found him while we were out there using a cadaver dog (who knew dogs could find bodies in the water?!). 

 It was our first time out on the bass boat for the season and we had a blast!  

Boat hair!

4th of July - Aaron meets the governor!

Aaron had the opportunity to meet his most senior boss - the governor - on the Fourth of July!  The governor was in town vacationing with his family and made a stop at the hatchery so Aaron and a few other coworkers gave them a tour.  We had a long weekend of boating already, so we weren't the least bit upset to have Aaron spend a bit of the Holiday for this opportunity.  We made our way out on the boat once he arrived home, though.
