Summer Vacation Part Two

The week continued with fun around every corner.  When we travel Bob and I try to find as many things we can do there to fully experience the area.  We located two local wineries which we stopped by to taste and purchase.  One of the evenings we stopped at an ice cream store.  I walked the boys to the park while Bob ordered.  He decided that every one in family needed their own item...I probably would have order two items and got extra spoons.  With that being said while he was juggling four ice cream creations both boys decided to poop at the park without any restrooms.  Carter dropped drawers in the grass and Landon's diaper was full.  I took care of this situation and when I finally came back to grab my ice cream Bob had just dropped it into the mulch.  My rainbow sherbet was sprinkled entirely with wood chips.  All I could do was laugh and spoon the mulch off.
Another day we headed to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes.  The entrance that we found felt like we were climbing at a 90 degree angle.  Feel the burn...for real!  Carter and Landon loved the dunes.  Carter ran and climbed forever.  Landon would run down the dunes and then wait until we would carry him back up.  We watched the sunset at the top of the dunes.  I was amazed by the amount of crazy people there are that drive those stinkin dunes in just normal cars.  I am serious...if you can get a long stick with a bright orange flag attached to your car you can drive it on the dunes.

The next day we visited Lewis's Farm Market and Petting Farm.  This place was stinkin awesome for the kids.  They had every farm animal imaginable to pet and feed.  They also had a jump pillow, a black tube slide, duck races, train rides, and a whole store full of fresh baked goods and food.  We had a ball.  Our camera battery died when we arrived...our luck!

Every family vacation we always have a "girls day", where my mom, sister, and I get pampered.  We got pedicures done in a close by town called Pentwater. Such a cute and quaint town right on the water so everyone came along.  We browsed neat shops and we even watched them unload fish they caught from a charter fishing boat.  

Girls day!

The candy store was the boy's favorite!  Bob let Carter choose salt water taffy.  He carried it around in the bag for the rest of the day and into the following day.  He called it his "Water Taffy"

The boys were amazed by the fish being hung from the charter fishing trip.  They were gutting them until that shelter house and the smell was atrocious.

Carter in a deep sleep for nap but if you look closely you will see that he is holding the white paper bag full of his "water taffy"

Landon loved putting together the firetruck puzzle with uncle Edd

I took advantage of every spare moment to cuddle, hug, and kiss the face off Adelynn
